Michael L Ciccolo et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2008 Jul.

Abstract

Surgical management of infant mitral valve regurgitation is challenging. There are no large surgical series of mitral valve repair in infants. Mitral valve repair is preferable to replacement. We report the modified De Vega adjustable annuloplasty with mitral valve repair in an infant with mitral valve regurgitation from endocarditis.
