Abstract

Abstract: We report a male patient who underwent successful redo cardiac surgery in 2014; tricuspid valve repair and redo mitral valve replacement of a Starr–Edwards mitral valve implanted 48 years previously. Six years after the redo operation, the patient remains well and therefore has an impressive over 54 years of survival following mitral valve replacement surgery.
