    Mitral commissurotomy surgery had a high rate of mitral incompetence (51%) and early operative deaths (5.4%). These results do not support routine open-heart mitral commissurotomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Cardiac Procedures

    Context:

    • Review of 188 mitral commissurotomies performed between 1962 and 1976.
    • Analysis of early and late outcomes, including mortality and morbidity.
    • Comparison of outcomes between direct vision and non-direct vision techniques.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitral commissurotomy.
    • To identify the primary complications and long-term results.
    • To determine if open-heart mitral commissurotomy warrants systematic adoption.

    Summary:

    • 188 mitral commissurotomies were performed, with only 3.1% under direct vision.
    • Operative mortality was 5.4%, with late deaths and revision surgeries also noted.

  • Mitral incompetence was the main complication, affecting 51% of patients.

    • Impact:

    • Findings support further prospective investigation into mitral commissurotomy techniques.
    • The study does not recommend the routine use of open-heart mitral commissurotomy.
    • Highlights the need for careful patient selection and surgical approach in mitral valve repair.
