Implication

High early mortality after pediatric mechanical mitral valve replacement supports repair-first strategies when feasible; leaves open optimal alternatives in repair-infeasible cases.

Population

54 children who underwent mitral valve replacement between January 1987 and December 1997 at a tertiary referral centre.

Intervention

Mechanical mitral valve replacement

Outcome

Mortality, morbidity, and haemodynamic status up to 11 years follow uphard clinical

Mechanical mitral valve replacement in children is associated with high mortality and complication rates, reinforcing that it should be reserved for patients where valve repair is not technically feasible.
