Anticoagulants and Mitral Valvotomy.
Prophylactic anticoagulant treatment prior to mitral valvotomy was first recommended by Storm and Hansen (1955).

Systemic embolism, occurring during either the operation or in the post-operative period, remains a serious complication of mitral valvotomy. It causes many deaths and those who survive it may suffer a crippling permanent disability.
