Abstract
In 1964 and 1965, two groups of surgeons, Dr Thomas Yeh and colleagues from Medical College of Georgia and Dr Andrew Wallace and colleagues from Duke University, published reports of aortic valve exploration, debridement, and replacement for endocarditis. Their initial thoughtful and meticulous procedures initiated valve surgery as a treatment of native aortic valve endocarditis.
