    Mitral valve replacement surgery between 1966-1975 had a 13.1% mortality rate. Preoperative risk factors like previous surgery and reduced ventricular function significantly increased mortality, highlighting the need for earlier surgical intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Cardiac Valve Disease
    • Medical Outcomes Research

    Context:

    • Analysis of 137 isolated mitral valve replacements performed between 1966 and 1975.
    • Evaluation of operative mortality and associated risk factors in a historical cohort.

    Purpose:

    • To identify clinical risk factors influencing operative mortality in mitral valve replacement.
    • To assess the impact of preoperative conditions on surgical outcomes.

    Summary:

    • The study reports a 13.1% operative mortality for mitral valve replacement during the specified period.
    • Identified risk factors include prior cardiac surgery, recurrent heart failure, prolonged preoperative illness, atrial fibrillation, and cardiomegaly.
    • The presence of three or more risk factors correlated with a 40% mortality rate.

  • Preoperative reduced ventricular function was a critical determinant of operative mortality.

    • Impact:

    • Findings underscore the importance of preoperative ventricular function in surgical outcomes.
    • Suggests that earlier surgical intervention may improve results and reduce mortality.
    • Provides historical data on mitral valve replacement outcomes and risk stratification.
