As the technique of open heart surgery has improved, CMC has been abandoned in favor of OMC and MVR. We evaluated and compared the results of CMC, OMC and MVR. METHOD. Between 1965 and 1978, 141 patients with mitral stenosis (MS) underwent CMC, and late follow-up obtained in 117 (83%) of them (CMC group). Between 1980 and 1989, 72 patients and 37 patients underwent OMC (OMC group) and MVR (MVR group), respectively. Cumulative follow-up periods were 1982, 632 and 200 patient-years in the CMC, OMC and MVR groups, respectively. RESULTS. (1) Survival rate; In the CMC group there were 2 operative deaths due to severe mitral regurgitation (MR). There were 17 late deaths, due to reoperations in 4 patients, cerebral infarction in 4 patients, congestive heart failure in 3 patients, myocardial infarction in 2 patients and unknown causes in 4 patients. The survival rate was 95%, 91% and 86% at 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively, in the CMC group. In the OMC and MVR groups there was no death. (2) The event free rate was 89%, 79% and 58% at 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively, in the CMC group, 97% and 97% at 5 and 10 years in the OMC group, and 95% and 90% at 4 and 5 years in the MVR group. (3) Reoperations; In the CMC group of 40 patients (34%) required reoperations in an average of 10.4 years after the initial operation, due to re-MS in 22 patients, MR in 10 patients and MRS in the 8 patients. Reoperative findings consisted of clefts in the mitral leaflets in 7 patients. There were pulmonary hypertension in 15 patients and tricuspid regurgitation in 22 patients. Fourteen patients underwent tricuspid anuloplasty and one patient underwent a tricuspid valve replacement. In the OMC group one patient required a reoperation due to MR; in the MVR group one patient required a reoperation due to a thrombosed valve. CONCLUSION. In the CMC group the survival rate and the event free rate were lower, and the rate of reoperation was higher than in the other two groups.

D008946 Mitral Valve Stenosis Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.
