Between 1987 and 1990 we operated on 104 patients for mitral valve disease. If possible the valve was reconstructed according to CARPENTIER's technique: 8 of 28 stenotic, 43 of 57 regurgitant and 2 of 7 mixed lesions were repaired. Twelve patients underwent re-replacement of a previously inserted mitral prosthesis. Six patients died early (7.8% after replacement, 8% after isolated replacement, 3.7% after repair and 2% after isolated repair). Five of these six patients were in NYHA class IV preoperatively. Seven patients died late after a mean observation period of 18 months (5 after replacement, 1 after double valve replacement and 1 after repair and multiple coronary bypass surgery). Prognosis is best for patients whose valve can be repaired and who are not already in NYHA class IV. The postoperative NYHA class for surviving patients is excellent (1.3 in the replacement group and 1.2 after repair). |
