TI  - Long-term results of reconstructive surgery for acquired valve disease: 
      evaluation of mitral and aortic valvuloplasty.
PG  - 9-13
AB  - To evaluate the long-term results of reconstructive surgery for mitral and aortic 
      valve diseases, 58 patients treated with mitral valvuloplasty (MVP) and 18 
      patients with aortic valvuloplasty (AVP) were considered. In the MVP group simple 
      annuloplasty was performed in 16 cases, tape annuloplasty in 39 cases, and mitral 
      valve extension with homopericardium in 3 cases. In the AVP group a combination 
      of slicing, commissurotomy, and commissuroplasty was performed in 15 cases and 
      aortic valve extension in three. There was one operative death in the AVP group, 
      and one late death in the MVP group. The percentage of patients who had no 
      complications related to reconstructive surgery after 17 years was 88% in the MVP 
      group, and 81.7% in the AVP group. Only three patients in the MVP group, and one 
      in the AVP group required reoperation after the reconstruction. Thus, 
      reconstructive surgery should be utilized, whenever possible, in the treatment of 
      valvular disease, even of the aortic valve.
