Short- and mid-term outcomes after redo surgical valve replacement.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWhile previous studies have indicated comparable outcomes for redo surgical valve replacement (SVR) and primary SVR, there is limited information regarding the long-term follow-up of these patients. Providing prognostic data on redo SVR is crucial for enhancing decision-making and medical care, as well as for identifying low-risk subsets of patients eligible for redo SVR. This study aimed to evaluate the short- and mid-term outcomes of patients who underwent their first and second redo SVR of a previously replaced valve.
methodsWe included 118 consecutive patients with a history of first or second redo SVR. The participants had a mean age of 57.5 ± 14.4 years, with 71 (60%) being female. The median follow-up period was 69 months. Clinical, intraoperative, and laboratory data were analyzed to assess all-cause mortality, major adverse events (MAE), and a composite of prosthetic valve thrombosis, embolic events, and major hemorrhage (TEH), along with their predictors. Bayesian model averaging was used for statistical analysis.
resultsThe 30-day mortality rate was 11 patients (9.3%). Chronic kidney disease was identified as an independent predictor of 30-day mortality. The overall survival rates at one and five years were 86% (95% CI 80% to 93%) and 76% (95% CI 68% to 85%), respectively. Dyslipidemia, a history of major bleeding, chronic kidney disease, stroke, and transvalvular leakage in biological prostheses were all associated with all-cause mortality as independent predictors. The TEH-free survival rates at one and five years were 91% (95% CI 86% to 97%) and 79% (95% CI 71% to 88%), respectively. Diabetes, sex, a history of percutaneous coronary intervention, and baseline functional capacity were identified as independent predictors for the occurrence of TEH. The MAE-free survival rates at one and five years were 82% (95% CI 73% to 92%) and 61% (95% CI 49% to 75%), respectively. Hypertension and baseline functional class were independent predictors of MAE occurrence. The type and anatomical position of the valve were not predictors of mortality, THE, and MAE.
conclusionsOur study demonstrated acceptable short- and mid-term outcomes for redo SVR, especially in patients without significant risk factors. Several potential predictors of adverse outcomes were identified.
