| Popis: | Some of the techniques applicable to mitral valve surgery have been reviewed and the need for flexibility of approach and improvement in methods emphasized. The techniques reported here are not original with us but derive from reports previously made by Dr. Frank Gerbode and Dr. Dwight Harken. Surgical experiences from November, 1956, to November, 1957, in 64 cases of mitral valvular disease have been presented. Results, while favorable, are early and evaluation therefore must be guarded. Valvular stenosis resisting finger fracture has responded uniformly well to transventricular use of the Brock dilator. Murmurs have been greatly reduced or eliminated. Patients with mitral regurgitation complicating other valvular disease have had their regurgitation reduced or eliminated with use of an intrapericardial Ivalon sponge pack. Gratifying improvement has been seen in two of three patients with severe “isolated” mitral insufficiency. |
