Objectives • Compare the surgical risks of first time AVR vs. re-operative AVR in 1213 consecutive unselected patients. • Determine the risk factors that predict mortality in this series. • Assess the clinical risk of reoperation AVR compared to long term anticoagulation.

Risk of Anticoagulation Related Hemorrhage • The composite linearized rate of anticoagulation related hemorrhage in several large series averages 0.9 – 2.5% per year. Akins, Ann Thor Surg 61:806, 1996 The Risks and Benefits of Reoperation Aortic Valve Replacement

Conclusions • The risks of re-operative AVR are low • The risks of long-term anticoagulation are known • We encourage all adult patients to choose the risks and benefits of tissue vs. mechanical AVR based upon a thorough discussion of these risks The Risks and Benefits of Reoperation Aortic Valve Replacement
Prosthesis Selection “ The choice of one type of valve versus the other is largely based on the surgeons’ or cardiologists’ views on what is the least harmful for the patient-anticoagulation for life, or the risk of reoperation.” Tirone E.
