The operative mortality was 7.3%(4 patients).There was of 2% mortality reported(1 case) in 10 years.At a mean follow-up period of 4.6 years,there was an improvement in functional class from 2.6 to 1.1.There were no increasing incidence of thrombo-embolic and anticoagulant related hemorrhagic events in this study group.Conclusion:
