The operation, medical circles said, has been duplicated only a tow tiiiyisii anywhere sin in the world, and navu by prsclael! m" same technique. Speedy laoavor! ‘rha operation was performed seven days ago on a wvmlfl DI- tlent at Episcopal Hospitsl- Today aha ls almost fully recovered and la leaving by train late this after- mion for Chicago, ‘where aha will ha presented ta the convention of tho American College of Chest Physicians. The woman ls Mrs. Melville Ward, M, of Newark. N. J-. mother of a five-ycar-old daughter, In childhood aha suffered from rheumatic fever. The mltral valve of her heart was effected and thereafter, aha waa unable to lead a normal, active life. Recently aha suffered a _heart attack. Examination showed that. the valve opening had contracted and that the flow of blood was im- paired. Two Have Same Aliment At Eplscoplal Hospital, there was another patient suffering from the same ailment, and on Juria f0 it was decided to operate on both the same day. The other patient, however, weakened too quickly after the heart cavity was opened, and so the operation had to be suspended. With Mrs. Ward, however, it was different, - Here is how the two-hour opera- tion Iwaa carried out: The chest was opened and the fourth rib reimcved. The lung was retracted to one aide and incision was made in the pericardium, or fibrous sac, which encloacs the heart. An incision was made in the wall of the heart. The surgeon's glove-encased lndeirflnger was ln- serted into the heart incision. Finger Guides Knlfo The finger probed until it reach- ed the mftral valve. A specially- devlaad knife was- inserted into the heart. opening. The knife was guided along tho slide of the linker to the valve. The valve was cut, the knife re- moved, and the cover of the heart sewed. Since then, Mrs. Wardb heart has lost the murmur which it had for years. Her strength and weight are almost normal. . Previously, according to one of the surgeons, such operations were done “blind.” In other words, a tube, ans end of which had a cutting device attached, was in- serted inside the heart. Never be- fore, it la believed, had the surgeonmdllnger been used to locate the offending valve. Promises Belle! for Many Considerable imputus was given l0 heart operations during the last war for the removal of shrapnel. flow, however, the new technique is believed to hold promise of re- lief for many rheumatic fever vic- tims. Preparatory experiments for the operation were conducted in part at Hahnemann Hospital, where animals, usually dogs, were used as subjects. The mltral valve guards the opening between the heart's left atrium, or aurlclc, and, the left ventricle from returning to the ntriuitn, or aurlcle. The valve is sometimes called a bicuspidvalve. It consists of two triangular flaps. ' Valve Defective Usually the valve flaps back and forth. When defective. as in Mrs. Wards case, it becomes f ... l nnxurr ..rox / rigid and the flap action ls last. 1n SOiAl-h Carolina tccently, there i?“ ll Sllflhl-ly similar operation‘ but the technique involved Cutting a hole through the valve. rather, than severing part of the valve‘ itself. so unit free motion can be‘- restored. Dr. Lucius Wilson, medical di- IECl-Ol‘ of the hospital, confirmed. the report of the operation. He said two surgeons were involved,’ but they asked that their ident- ifies not be disclosed.
