[Surgery of the mitral valve (author's transl)]. 1979

R Buchberger, and E Domanig, and F Helmer, and A Laczkovics, and E Wolner

A report is given on the results of different forms of mitral valve operations in 866 patients. Closed mitral valvulotomy was performed in 519 patients and mitral valve replacement in 291 cases. Open mitral valve anuloplasty was performed as reconstructive surgical procedure in 15 patients. The overall mortality was 10.4%. Follow-up of the surviving patients showed that the long-term results of mitral valve replacement are significantly worse than those of mitral valve reconstruction.
