OBJECTIVE: Acute mitral stenosis (MS) following mitral valve (MV) repair is a rare but severe complication. We hypothesize that intraoperative echocardiography can be utilized to diagnose iatrogenic MS immediately after MV repair. METHODS: The medical records of 552 consecutive patients undergoing M...
