A successful report of mitral valve repair for parachute-like mitral valve in adult

Yuki Ikeno et al. Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2020 Mar.

Abstract

A 65 year-old man was diagnosed with congestive heart failure secondary to severe mitral regurgitation resulting from a parachute-like asymmetrical mitral valve. We performed mitral annuloplasty and triangular resection of the thick tissue. The postoperative course was uneventful with no recurrence of mitral regurgitation.

Keywords: Adult congenital; Mitral valve repair; Parachute mitral valve.
