Implication

High mortality warrants caution in congenital mitral stenosis surgery; cohort data leaves open optimal patient selection and techniques.

Structured PICO

P
Population
38 patients with congenital mitral stenosis (MS)
I
Intervention
Mitral valve surgery (valvotomy, excision of supravalvar mitral ring, or mitral valve replacement)
O
Outcome
Surgical mortality and postoperative symptom/hemodynamic statushard clinical

In patients with congenital mitral stenosis, surgical mortality is high, and only mitral valve replacement or isolated supravalvar ring resection reliably normalizes hemodynamics and symptoms.
