Abstract
Zubarevich et al. present the 30 day and 1-year outcomes of redo mitral valve replacement in 58 high-risk patients. The authors conclude that careful patient selection and risk stratification provides acceptable surgical results in this cohort. This series reminds us that increased use of bioprostheses, increased use of mitral replacement instead of repair, and an aging population drive the volume of high-risk redo mitral replacement. It remains to be seen whether redo mitral mortality is getting better or worse, but the risk and the patients will be with us for some time.

Current clinical research projects examine the effects of patient characteristics and surgical technique in outcome after minimally invasive cardiac surgery, valve repair and replacement, and coronary artery bypass grafting.
Prior work has examined the role of surgical therapy versus medical therapy in aortic dissection, load-independent means to quantify left and right ventricular function, and management of complex coronary disease.
