In-hospital outcomes predictors and trends of redo sternotomy aortic root replacements: insights from a UK registry analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Redo sternotomy aortic root surgery is technically demanding, and the evidence on outcomes is mostly from retrospective, small sample, single-centre studies. We report the trend, early clinical results and outcome predictors of redo aortic root replacement over 20 years in the United Kingdom.
