[Multiple-valve disease].
After more than 40 years of heart valve surgery, the indication for double valve procedures still represents a problem in the presence of an obviously leading single valve disease. If the isolated valves do not already represent a clear indication for surgery then this situation is the best example for a good deal of thought in cardiac surgery and discussion with competent cardiologists.
