Repair of left ventriculo-atrial fistulas due to posterior mitral annular abscesses

Abstract
Two cases of acute staphylococcal mitral annular abscesses resulting in transannular left ventriculoatrial fistulation are reported. Mitral annular abscess debridement and repair of the annulus, obliteration of the fistulation, and preservation of the native valve were successful in both cases.
