The first successful mitral valve repair was performed by Elliot Cutler at Brigham and Women's Hospital in 1923. Subsequent evolution in the surgical techniques as well as multi-disciplinary cooperation between cardiac surgeons, cardiologists and cardiac anesthesiologists has resulted in excellent outcomes. In spite of this, the etiology of mitral valve pathology ultimately determines the outcome of mitral valve repair.
1923 年,Elliot Cutler 在布莱根妇女医院首次成功实施二尖瓣修复术。此后,手术技术不断发展,心脏外科医生、心脏病专家和心脏麻醉师之间的多学科合作也取得了进展,手术效果非常理想。尽管如此,二尖瓣病变的病因最终还是决定了二尖瓣修复的结果。
