    Background:

    • Mitral valve stenosis is a significant cardiac condition requiring surgical intervention.
    • Closed mitral valvotomy has been a historical treatment for mitral valve stenosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the long-term outcomes of closed mitral valvotomy.
    • To determine the efficacy and patient health status after the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 359 patients who underwent closed mitral valvotomy between August 1957 and October 1974.
    • Follow-up assessment of patient health status in July 1975.

    Main Results:
