Key result
A newborn with prenatally diagnosed severe mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis successfully underwent fetal aortic valvuloplasty followed by a modified Ross-Konno procedure and mitral valve repair.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates the feasibility of a successful modified Ross-Konno procedure with concomitant mitral valve repair shortly after birth following fetal aortic valvuloplasty.
Perinatal management of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and aortic stenosis (AS) is difficult; mortality is high, and there are few reports of successful postnatal biventricular repairs. We report a patient with severe MR and AS, diagnosed prenatally, that underwent a fetal aortic valvuloplasty and a successful modified Ross-Konno procedure with concomitant mitral valve repair shortly after birth.
