Risk of Cardiac Reoperation: An Analysis of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The increasing number of congenital heart disease patients undergoing reoperative cardiac surgery presents critical and growing challenges. Our objective was to evaluate the association between the number of prior cardiopulmonary bypass operations and operative mortality and morbidity in a national cohort.

Methods

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database (STS-CHSD) was reviewed for index cardiac operations on cardiopulmonary bypass during 2016 to 2021. Infants and patients with functionally univentricular physiology were excluded. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for covariates in the STS-CHSD Mortality Risk Model, the STS-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (STAT) Mortality Category, and institutional volume.
