The authors consider that the indications for surgery should take into account three unknowns: the natural history of the valvulopathies, our incomplete state of knowledge about the outcome in operated cases, and surgical progress, which may transform the whole subject in a short time. They emphasize the seriousness of the disorders in which mitral incompetence is associated with aortic stenosis and/or incompetence; such cases justify earlier surgery. By contrast, some cases of aortic incompetence, when associated with a predominant mitral valve lesion, may not constitute an indication for valve replacement. Tricuspid annuloplasty is a noteworthy advance which provides a simple answer to some of the problems.
