Implication

May aid mitral valve assessment in stenosis or incompetence; leaves open validation against modern imaging.

Key Points

The study aims to compare the surgical findings and operation outcomes related to mitral stenosis and mitral incompetence.
Observation of the character and degree of atrial pulsation during surgery.
Assessment of valve orifice size and state of valve cusps through direct examination and measurement.
Direct measurement of pressure within the heart chambers.
Surgeons identified varying degrees of atrial pulsation related to the state of the mitral valve.
Direct measurements revealed significant differences in valve function between mitral stenosis and incompetence.
Findings indicated the presence of regurgitant streams affected clinical outcomes.
