Outcomes of redo pulmonary valve replacement for bioprosthetic pulmonary valve failure in 61 patients with congenital heart disease [CONGENITAL]

CONCLUSIONS A substantial number of the patients experienced mortality or morbidities after redo PVR. Higher preoperative right ventricular systolic pressure and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time were associated with PAEs. By 10 years after the redo PVR, approximately two-thirds of patients will require PV reintervention or manifest SVD.
