Anticoagulants and Mitral Valvotomy.
Prophylactic anticoagulant treatment prior to mitral valvotomy was first recommended by Storm and Hansen (1955). Several authors have since confirmed that this measure significantly reduces the incidence of operative and post-operative embolism.

However, as time went on it was apparent that finger fracture alone was not sufficient for many badly scarred and calcified va...
