Abstract
It was over a hundred years ago that Sir Lauder Brunton, a visionary cardiologist first envisioned surgical intervention for valvular heart disease. The first procedure performed for the relief of heart valve disease was Closed Mitral Valvotomy, which was developed by bold mavericks like Souttar, Bailey and Brock. After several failures, success ensued.
