Something wrong?About this person
Bailey performed commisurotomy in at least three patients and death was the outcome. On June 10, 1948 Bailey operated on a 30 year old man at Philadelphia General Hospital at eight in the morning and the patient died before the mitral valve was open. The same day at 2 pm at Episcopal Hospital in Philadelphia, Bailey operated on Claire Ward. The patient was a 24-year-old female with severe mitral stenosis. She lived for 38 years after the surgery. Bailey published a textbook of cardiac surgery in 1955. He was often in competition with Dwight Harken of Harvard. Both of them died in August 1993.
