Popis: The ultimate fate of the incised commissure following surgery for mitral stenosis will remain unknown for years to come. A clinical appraisal of patients living five years after commissurotomy and a review of available autopsy material from patients surviving surgery for periods up to four years indicates that valvular restenosis does not occur within the first half decade provided the commissurotomy has been properly performed.
