Abstract

The history of open-heart surgery allowing for valve repair or replacement is quite amazing. Both the patients and surgeon had immense courage to be a part of such. In this chapter, due to restrictions of time and space, only techniques that have been applied clinically will be the focus. Of the many significant innovators who have contributed to valvular repair techniques, only those who pioneered novel techniques or who managed to bring techniques into worldwide use will be discussed.
