Abstract
Reoperative aortic root reconstruction can be performed with a low perioperative mortality rate and satisfactory long-term survival. Age older than 75 years and NYHA class IV are risk factors for early mortality. Previous aortic root replacement is not a risk factor for reoperative aortic root reconstruction.
