Objective: The aim of our study was to analyse the death cause and related factors of death in hospital of patients after cardiac valve replacement (CVR). Methods: Regression analysis of 34 patients' data was executed. Results: Death rate was 9.9 %, death cause: (1) L.ow cardiac output syndrome is the first complication and death cause (2.6 % ), which was closely related to cardiac function (grade Ⅳ ) before operation, LVEDD＞8.0 cm, LVEF＜0. 40, GR ＞80%, emergency operation, long time of arterial block, etc; (2) Ventricular tachycardia、 ventricular fibrillation is the second cause of death (2. 1%); (3) Respiratory failure (4) Post-operation hemorrhage inducing pericardial tamponade and shock; (5) Postoperation infection of replaced valve and brain complications. Conclusion: The success rate of operation can be increased by selecting patients strictly, improving operation methods, enhancing periopertive monitor.
