What are the long-term results of closed mitral commissurotomy in patients with mitral stenosis?
This historical study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of closed mitral commissurotomy to inform the choice between closed and emerging open-heart techniques for mitral stenosis.
F. Henry Ellis (1958) conducted a cohort in Mitral stenosis (n=131). Closed mitral commissurotomy was evaluated. The truncated abstract describes a long-term follow-up study of 131 patients undergoing closed mitral commissurotomy for mitral stenosis, but does not report quantitative results.
