What are the outcomes of surgical treatment for congenital mitral valvar stenosis in children?
Surgical repair of congenital mitral valvar stenosis is feasible in most cases, but hospital mortality remains high due to complex and associated lesions.
Chauvaud et al. (1997) conducted a cohort in Congenital mitral valvar stenosis (n=58). Surgical treatment was evaluated on Hospital mortality (95% CI 13-36). Surgical treatment for congenital mitral valvar stenosis in children under 12 years resulted in a hospital mortality of 22% (95% CI 13-36%) and a 5-year actuarial survival of 64%.
