Supra-annular mitral valve replacement in children

Kirk R. Kanter, Brian E. Kogon, Paul M. Kirshbom Emory University School of Medicine.United States Annals of Thoracic SurgeryAnn Thorac Surg 2011; 92: 2221-2227DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2011.06.023 AbstractBackground: Despite improved mitral repair techniques, some children need mitral valve replacement (MVR). Due to small annulus size, supra-annular MVR is useful.Methods: From 2003 to 2010, 15 children had 23 supra-annular MVRs. At
