60 años de cirugía de la válvula mitral: Una historia de exploradores, pioneros, héroes y conquistadores de nuestros tiempos

60 años de cirugía de la válvula mitral: Una historia de exploradores, pioneros, héroes y conquistadores de nuestros tiempos

On June 10, 1948, Charles Bailey, MD, operated successfully a mitral valve stenosis in Philadelphia and six days later, Dwight Harken, MD, performed the same operation in Boston, marking the onset of cardiovascular surgery. These successful operations were preceded by several failures and even death...
