Mitral-valve replacement in children under 6 years of age

Abstract: MVR in small children still carries a high risk. In our experience, the long-term results are satisfying. After failed reconstructive surgery, or as a primary procedure, we prefer mechanical prostheses. They are well tolerated and the incidence of anticoagulation-related complications is low.

“…The three patients who died were in functional class IV, and two of them were in the acute phase of the disease. This mortality rate may be considered high if compared with those of most of the authors, which range from 0 to 4.8% [17][18][19][20] . Carpentier reported his 10-year experience with repair, with an in-hospital mortality of 4.2% in adults and children 14 .…”

“…En los casos donde la válvula mitral es muy displásica o la reparación ha fallado, el reemplazo valvular mitral es la única opción. 3,4,8,9 Durante la exploración quirúrgica de las válvulas mitrales encontramos que 50% de las válvulas mitrales estaban de moderada a severamente displásicas, sin considerar la reparación como opción. Se utilizó una vál-vula mecánica St. Jude en la mayoría de los pacientes.…”

“…Las ventajas de este tipo de válvula son: tener un buen perfil de flujo hemodinámi-co, menor potencial de obstrucción al tracto de salida del ventrículo izquierdo y mayor durabilidad. 3,8,[10][11][12] Como lo sugieren el Dr. Alsoufi y su grupo, los homoinjertos y válvulas biológicas, aunque no son la primera opción, son un recurso válido en pacientes de sexo femenino y en pacientes con pobre apego al tratamiento con anticoagulantes. Otro grupo de pacientes candidatos para colocación de una válvula biológica son los que no tienen acceso a una monitorización adecuada de la anticoagulación.…”

“…A number of reports have shown that accompanying CAVSD is associated with a high operative mortality [2,5,10,11,14,21]. Caldarone et al [5] suggested that this was due a greater likelihood of postoperative LVOTO due to altered relationships between the mitral annulus and LVOT.…”

“…Data from a number of studies indicates that 45-70% of infant MVR patients show freedom from reoperation at 10 years [2,3,8,11,12,18,19,21]. Normal growth in an infant patient often creates the need for reoperation.…”
