Abstract

A 9-year-old patient with massive destruction of the mitral apparatus caused by active infective endocarditis underwent mitral valve plasty using a modified commissural autologous pericardial patch repair. This procedure is a clinically relevant and feasible technique for pediatric patients with active mitral valve endocarditis.

Keywords: Child; endocarditis; mitral valve insufficiency; pericardium; reconstructive surgical procedures.
