“…It was performed in hundreds of thousands of patients with excellent immediate and late results that lasted for decades, as it happened in the current case described by Xu et al (1). The largest series of CMC was published in 1991 by Stanley John, from India, and included 5,326 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis who had a 24-year survival, without requiring a second procedure, of 78.3% (6). I, then in South Africa, personally performed CMC in more than five hundred patients in the 1970's and 80's.…”
