Objective To analyze the reason of 45 patients with cardiac valve reoperation and to evaluate the safety of redo heart valve replacement. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 45 patients in our hospital between January 2010 and January 2015. There were 45 patients with 14 males and 31 females at an average age of 51.21± 8.36 years. Results Three of 45 patients (6.67%) were died after surgery. Mean follow-up was 36 (4-68) months. A total of 42 patients were alive and without reoperation again. The main reasons of heart valve reoperation included lesions of untreated valve, paravalvular leakage, thrombosis associated with valvular dysfunction, bioprosthesis degeneration, endocarditis, valvular lesions after angioplasty. Conclusion Tricuspid regurgitation should be treated aggressively when the mitral valve involved in the first operation. Patients received the secondary heart valve replacement is safe and effective. Strict follow-up system should be established and surgical intervention should be taken timely and appropriately.
