    Open-heart surgery for mitral stenosis in 163 patients showed low mortality and high functional recovery. Key findings include the prevalence of calcification, thrombus, and subvalvular involvement, with improved outcomes for most survivors.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Cardiac Valve Disease
    • Mitral Stenosis Treatment

    Background:

    • Mitral stenosis is a significant valvular heart condition requiring surgical intervention.
    • Understanding the intraoperative findings and long-term outcomes is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the outcomes of open-approach mitral stenosis surgery.
    • To identify factors influencing patient prognosis and complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 163 consecutive patients undergoing open mitral stenosis surgery.
    • Evaluation of intraoperative findings, including calcification, thrombus, and subvalvular apparatus involvement.
    • Assessment of early and late mortality, reoperation rates, and functional status.

    Main Results:

    • 11% of patients had mitral valve calcification, 13.2% had left atrial thrombus.
    • Subvalvular apparatus involvement (66.6%) was associated with higher NYHA Functional Class III.
    • Low early (1.2%) and late (0.2% per patient-year) mortality; 84.4% of survivors achieved Functional Class I.

    Conclusions:

    • Open-approach surgery for mitral stenosis yields favorable long-term functional outcomes and low mortality.
    • Preoperative functional class and specific intraoperative findings impact the need for adjunct procedures like annuloplasty.
    • Systemic embolism risk is linked to cardiac rhythm, necessitating careful consideration in surgical planning.
