Reoperation
Throughout the follow-up period only one patient required
re-intervention on the aortic root at 3 years following the index
procedure (mechanical CVG). This was due to recurrent mediastinitis
resulting in a false aneurysm around the left coronary button and
dehiscence of the proximal suture-line. The patient died shortly after
the re-intervention. No patient from the PAR required re-intervention
within the 5-year follow-up period.
