In 1964 and 1965, two groups of surgeons, Dr Thomas Yeh and colleagues from Medical College of Georgia and Dr Andrew Wallace and colleagues from Duke University, published reports of aortic valve exploration, debridement, and replacement for endocarditis. Their initial thoughtful and meticulous procedures initiated valve surgery as a treatment of native aortic valve endocarditis.
1964年和1965年,两组外科医生,佐治亚医学院的托马斯·叶医生及其同事,以及杜克大学的安德鲁·华莱士医生及其同事,发表了关于主动脉瓣探查、清创和置换治疗心内膜炎的报告。他们最初精心细致的手术开创了瓣膜手术作为治疗原发性主动脉瓣心内膜炎的方法。
