So what do you think about your 1960 pronouncement 50 years later both specifically and generally, Bob?

Thomas  Walther and Michael Borger survival at 6 months is 73.9 +- 6,2%
When  surgeons implanted a new valve many years ago  had they also  idea  of
valve survival?.



They certainly did. We wanted the valve to lasr for the life expectancy of  
the patient.
At the first conference in 1960 I made the statement "The valve must last  
for the life of the patient"
The cynics laughed and said "You will have no problem meeting that  
requirement: when your valve breaks the patient will die".
