ABSTRACT
From January 1986 to December 1989, seventy patients underwent mitral valve repair. Sixty-four patients had severe mitral stenosis (MS) and mitral regurgitation (MR), while six patients had severe mitral regurgitation (MR) only. The technique used was a combination of posterior semicircular annuloplasty, mitral commissurotomy and chordal shortening. There were two operative deaths. All except three of the surviving patients are asymptomatic. There has been no episode of thromboembolism. One patient has required valve replacement and two others have had a revision of the repair in the follow up period. Predischarge and late (3 months to 3 years) echocardiography suggests that the repair is satisfactory.
