Abstract

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.

Keywords: fetal aortic valvuloplasty; fetal heart disease; mitral valve repair; modified Ross-Konno.
