At a glance

Repeat heart surgery clinics and specialist centres differ in the anatomy they treat, techniques they offer and evidence they publish. A reoperation must account for old grafts, implants and scar tissue as well as the new problem. A second operation may follow valve deterioration or progression of disease and does not by itself mean the first operation failed.

Catheter treatment may be an alternative

Some failing valves can be treated without repeating the same open operation, depending on anatomy.

First-operation results are not redo results

The relevant evidence must describe comparable reoperations and associated procedures.

          How these clinics and specialist centres were selected

          This list contains 4 clinics and specialist centres with a documented repeat heart surgery focus in our source-linked directory. It is an editorial shortlist, not a census or an outcome ranking.

          Institutional expertise and published study results are identified separately. An individual doctor may participate in several treatment pathways; a study of one procedure does not establish outcomes for another.
