Mitral Valve Surgery for Severe Mitral Regurgitation and Dilated Cardiomyopathy—A Bridge to Transplant: Case Report and a Review of Literature

Mitral Valve Surgery for Severe Mitral Regurgitation and Dilated Cardiomyopathy—A Bridge to Transplant: Case Report and a Review of Literature

ABSTRACT We report a child with myocardial necrosis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and severe mitral valve (MV) regurgitation following neonatal enteroviral myocarditis. He underwent MV annuloplasty at 18 months and MV replacement at 3 years of age. He remains asymptomatic on medical therapy at 8 years of...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT We report a child with myocardial necrosis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and severe mitral valve (MV) regurgitation following neonatal enteroviral myocarditis. He underwent MV annuloplasty at 18 months and MV replacement at 3 years of age. He remains asymptomatic on medical therapy at 8 years of age. Mitral valve surgery may stabilize the evolution of dilated cardiomyopathy and delay the ultimate need for heart transplant.
