The types of surgical correction of the mitral valve pathology, hospital and long-term results were studied. The mitral valve repair being compared to the mitral valve replacement is procedure of choice as it provides stable results. In the study we demonstrate that the long-term results of reconstructive procedures on the mitral valve have advantages over mitral valve replacement in terms of survival, freedom from reoperation and tromboembolc complications.

Thirteen patients, ranging in age from 10 months to 19 years (mean 7.8 years) and in weight from 6.6 to 60 kg (average 29.5 kg) underwent 14 operations for mitral valve replacement with a heterograft prosthesis between January 1, 1976 and July 1, 1979 for a variety of congenital or acquired lesions. Preoperative indications included severe refractory congestive heart failure in each patient with growth retardation, which was especially prominent in the younger patients. Operative mortality was 14% (2/14) with both deaths occurring within 48 hours of operation in patients less than 6 years of age. All surgical survivors had clinical improvement as manifested by relief of symptoms, decrease in heart size, and significant growth. Routine postoperative catheterization in five patients revealed good initial postoperative results in those studied, with one patient having a second study 20 months after operation. He was found to have had degeneration of his bovine prosthesis and had subsequent successful reoperation with a porcine prosthesis. Further long-term serial catheterizations are needed to further document the history of heterograft prosthesis in children, but they are preferred to mechanical valves became of the lack of need for long-term anticoagulants and the absence of thromboembolism complications. This series suggests that mitral valve replacement, when indicated by refractory congestive heart failure and growth retardation, can be successfully performed even in infants and small children. Surgery should not be postponed to allow for subsequent patient growth if the natural history of the disease is of progression.

Surgical Reduction

Complete preservation of leaflets for mitral valve replacement to maintain geometry and the function of left ventricle in the near and distant period is necessary. The aim of study was to analyze these procedures. Bileaflet preservation of the anatomical architectonics of the left ventricle in combination with the surgical reduction of the enlarged left atrium will allow to optimize the postoperative geometry and to improve the remodeling of all the left heart along with improved long-term results of patients with mitral valve replacement.
