Abstrakt: In patients with congenital mitral-valve disease, reconstructive surgery is the primary goal. However, in cases with severely dysplastic valves or failed repair, mitral-valve replacement (MVR) is the only option. We analyzed, retrospectively, data of 35 patients younger than 6 years of age, who underwent MVR at our institution.
