Reop Sternotomy - How Many is too Many? Guest: Joseph A. Dearani, M.D. and Elizabeth H. Stephens, M.D., Ph.D. Hosts: Patricia A. Pellikka, M.D. Reoperations are inevitable for many structural heart lesions, and in some cases, it may be multiple reoperations over a lifetime. Current techniques in perioperative imaging and contemporary surgical techniques make cardiac reoperations safe in most circumstances. Lifelong surveillance with a heart team approach of both cardiology and cardiac surgery is the optimal strategy to determine the proper timing of reoperation to achieve a good outcome.   Topics Discussed: How many reoperations can a patient have? What are the most common reasons for the need for reoperation? Is it true that the risk of reoperation is often the same as a first-time operation? What matters most with patient selection for reoperation? Can a minimally invasive approach be applied at a reoperation? Is the length of hospital stay and postoperative recovery different with reoperation? Do all surgeons do cardiac reoperations?   Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.
