“…Effler (5) considered the mitral repair to be an unjustifiable procedure because of frequent recurrence of mitral regurgitation. However, satisfactory long term clinical results up to 12 years following mitral valve repair have been reported by several authors (1,2,3,4,10,11,12,15,16,18,21,23,24,25,27,28,29). Clinical improvement maintained for a period of up to 14 years has already been reported from this institution (22).…”

One hundred and thirteen hospital survivors with mitral annuloplasty have been followed-up from 3--19 years. Actuarially 82.4 +/- 12.1% and 65.1 +/- 18.1% of all patients are expected to be alive at 10 and 19 years respectively. 90.1 +/- 5.9% of patients were predicted to be free from reoperation at 5 years postop, while at 10 and 15 years the figures are 77.2 +/- 13.9% and 53.8 +/- 23.9% respectively. Postoperative haemodynamic investigations, performed in 18 patients at a mean duration of 8.5 (range 4--11) years, showed significant reduction in both mean pulmonary artery and wedge pressures as compared to pre-operative values. 92% of patients were in grade I and II (NYHA) clinically at the latest evaluation as compared to 84% being in grade III and IV pre-operatively. Mitral annuloplasty provides statisfactory long term clinical and haemodynamic improvement in a selected group of patients and should always be considered in the management of mitral regurgitation.

“…Dacron patch closure of the VSDs, and Rumel debridement of the anterior mitral leaflet, mitral commissurotomy, and commissural plication were carried out. 1 Good functional competence of the mitral valve was restored (Figure 2b). The patient was weaned off cardiopulmonary bypass with satisfactory hemodynamics on inodilator support.…”

Congenital heart disease is related to events occurring in the embryonal stage, while rheumatic heart disease is a sequela of immune-mediated damage following streptococcal infection. We report an unusual association of multiple ventricular septal defects and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension with rheumatic mitral stenosis in a 7-year-old girl. This case highlights the need for careful examination for coexisting rheumatic disease in late presentations of congenital heart disease.
