title: [Endocardial resection: surgical treatment of constrictive fibrous endocarditis].
abstract: A new operation, the resection of the endocardium, is proposed in the case of fibrous constrictive endocarditis. I performed this operation in 1971, for the first time, with good results. I operated on two other patients with success in 1973 and 1975. The results I have obtained indicate that this new technique is possibly the answer to a disease which otherwise ultimately results in death.
