The risk of reoperative valve replacement for failed aortic bioprosthesis may be overestimated, this being a dominant factor when selecting an initial prosthesis to be implanted in patients aged <70 years. The study aims were, first, to analyze the mortality and morbidity of redo aortic bioprosthesis replacement in the current era, and second, to identify preoperative risk factors and evaluate the EuroSCORE.
