Under analysis were the results of 386 operations on the "open" heart made for mitral diseases complicated by pulmonary hypertension of different degrees. Prosthetics of the mitral valve was performed in 251 patients, in 135 patients the so-called "organ-saving" correction of the defect was fulfilled. The decision on the method of the defect correction depends on the anatomical particularities, morphological alterations of the valvular apparatus. The main place among the causes of postoperative lethality (9-11%) is occupied by cardiac insufficiency and renohepatic failure which are noted mainly in patients of the IVth functional class.
