Abstract
Early reoperations can be variably related to the index procedure, ranging from repeat of index to repair of associated defects and staged procedures, resulting in different patterns of reoperation types by relationship to the index. Cardiac reoperations within 30 days are associated with increased mortality, which is clustered around a small number of procedures.
