    Journal: Grud Serdechnososudistaia Khir; 1990 Oct; (11):11-5. PubMed ID: 2285547.
    Abstract:
    The authors analysed 167 repeated operations after heart valve prosthetics, which were conducted from 1978 to 1988. The operations were undertaken for the second time mainly in a severe contingent of patients. The reasons for the repeated operations were specific complications according to which 2 groups of patients were set apart: with dysfunction of the prosthesis of noninfectious origin and with prosthetic endocarditis. Study showed that repeated operative intervention undertaken in time reduces considerably its risk and produces a stable positive effect in most cases.
