Abstract
Valvular heart disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In India, Rheumatic heart disease is an important cause of valvular heart disease. We tried to analyse pattern of mitral valve disease and the surgeries we performed in individuals younger than 18 years presenting to our institute.
Methods: Retrospectively we analysed the data of patients aged less than 18 years, who underwent mitral valve surgeries in our institute between September 2017 to September 2018, with one year follow up. Analysed the data with respect to age, gender, type of valvular heart disease, if it is single or multiple valves that is affected, type of surgery- repair or replacement and immediate postoperative complications if any and during the follow up.
Results: Out of 24 patients, 22 underwent valve replacement. Two underwent valve repair successfully. One patient with failed repair had to undergo revision for valve replacement. Subset of the population we operated presented with severely diseased valves that prevented successful valve repair.
