Abstract
Although many of the problems of the early years of heart valve replacement seem to be solved, other problems still remain. For example, the high operative mortality of the early years has decreased to less than 5% (1); today operative long-term complications (2) and insufficient recovery from preoperative myocardial dysfunction (3) are of much more concern.
