Late outcomes were analyzed in 67 patients with pulmonary hypertension, who had undergone surgical correction of acquired mitral valvular diseases in the period sofs months to 11 years (mean 4.6 years). In the late postoperative period, there was no significant difference in the survival rates, in the incidence of high functional class heart failure, and the quality of life in patients with mitral valvular diseases in the presence of pulmonary hypertension and in a normal pulmonary pressure.
