We report a successful follow‐up after 28 years of a woman with obliterative restrictive endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) that underwent complete surgical decortication with simultaneous mitral and tricuspid bioprosthetic valve replacement in 1982 and underwent successful reoperation for the structural...
