Does mitral valve repair improve survival and reduce reoperation in children with congenital mitral valve anomalies?

Population

23 children (mean age 3.2 years) with congenital mitral valve anomalies undergoing valve sparing surgery, followed for a mean of 51.3 months.

Exposure

Mitral valve repair (reparative techniques including annuloplasty)

Outcome

Hospital mortality, late deaths, reoperation, and actuarial survival rateshard clinical

Mitral valve repair in children with congenital mitral valve anomalies is feasible with acceptable long-term survival and freedom from reoperation.
