    Mitral valvotomy is a surgical procedure for mitral stenosis. Reoperation for mitral restenosis is common, with repeat valvotomy offering satisfactory results for pure restenosis but valve replacement preferred for severe deformities.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Mitral valvotomy was a primary surgical intervention for mitral stenosis between 1960 and 1979.
    • The closed method was predominantly used during this period.
    • Mitral restenosis represented a significant long-term complication necessitating further surgical management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of mitral valvotomy.
    • To assess the incidence and management of mitral restenosis after initial surgery.
    • To determine the efficacy of repeat valvotomy versus valve replacement for recurrent mitral stenosis.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 425 patients who underwent mitral valvotomy from 1960 to 1979.
    • Review of reoperation rates for mitral restenosis.

  • Comparison of outcomes for second closed mitral valvotomy, open valvotomy, and valve replacement.

    • Main Results:

    • Thirty-two patients (7.5%) required reoperation for mitral restenosis.
    • Reoperation incidence was higher after 6-7 years (23.3%) and 9-10 years (26.4%) post-initial surgery.
    • Of those reoperated, 47% had a successful second closed valvotomy, 35.4% underwent valve replacement, and 17.6% had an open valvotomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Repeat mitral valvotomy can yield satisfactory results for pure mitral restenosis.
    • Valve replacement is the preferred option for patients with severely deformed or incompetent mitral valves.
    • Long-term follow-up is crucial to identify and manage mitral restenosis after initial valvotomy.
