BACKGROUND: An aging population and prolonged survival of patients after cardiac operations has meant that composite aortic root replacement after previous cardiac operation is being performed with increasing frequency.
METHODS: From January 1979 to July 1999, 32 patients underwent "reoperative" composite replacement of the aortic root at our institution. Previous operations were 16 aortic valve replacement, 9 coronary artery bypass grafting, 5 repair aortic dissection, and 7 others. Indications for operation included ascending aortic aneurysm in 16 patients, ascending aortic dissections in 10 patients, and other in 6 patients.
RESULTS: The unit elective mortality was 3 of 26 (11.5%). One surgeon's elective mortality was 1 of 22 (4.6%). The unit emergent mortality was 6 of 6 (100%). There has been one late death. Morbidity was low.
CONCLUSIONS: Reoperative aortic root replacement is a technically demanding procedure, but expertise in the area achieves low elective mortality. Consideration should be given to aortic root replacement at the initial procedure. Close follow-up of postcardiac operation patients is necessary to proceed with elective aortic root replacement if indicated. Emergent presentation in the reoperative setting has a very poor prognosis.
