Operative Mortality
The risk of death or serious complications from isolated aortic valve replacement is typically between 1-3%, depending on the health and age of the patient, as well as the skill of the surgeon and the health care institute. The patient’s past history of heart surgery affects the mortality rate as well. Complications like myocardial Injury and acute kidney injury may negatively effect the prognosis.[1][2][3]
