Abstract
The modern era of mitral valve surgery began in the 1940s. I acknowledge the important contributions of two of our country's outstanding pioneers, Charles P. Bailey and Dwight E. Harken. Their trials and tribulations should encourage future generations of cardiac surgeons to proceed with further developments in this field.
