Based upon our experiences of 661 valvular operations for these 10 years, we discussed about three major topics in valvular surgery. The first is the current status of valve repair versus replacement. The second is on the changing aspects of patients undergoing valvular surgery. Finally difficult problems in the treatment of infective endocarditis was discussed.
