[Successful surgical correction of endocardial cushion defect in a 63-year-old female patient]
Abstract
We have experienced a surgical correction of a 63-year-old female patient with ECD, who had suffered from severe congestive heart failure. Massive left to right shunt and severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation were noted. The correction consisted of mitral valve replacement, patch closure of the ostium primum defect and annuloplasty of tricuspid valve. Postoperative course was uneventful. Surgical correction should be recommended even in old patient.
