The United Kingdom Heart Valve Registry (UKHVR) has recently completed collecting information on 52 659 heart valve replacements (in 47 718 patients) performed during the period 1986 to 1995 in the whole of the United Kingdom. Information stored in the UKHVR's computer database was used for this study. Factors affecting the time from first prosthesis to first redo prosthesis were analyzed and provided useful predictive information. The association between prosthesis-induced local pathological processes and redo valve size was investigated.
