Supravalvular stenotic mitral ring with ventricular septal defect

J Card Surg. 1997 Jan-Feb;12(1):46-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8191.1997.tb00088.x.

Abstract

Background: Supravalvular mitral ring is exceedingly uncommon.

Methods: We report a 4-year-old girl with supravalvular stenotic mitral ring and ventricular septal defect (VSD). The VSD was closed by a Dacron patch and the supravalvular ring was excised. For treatment of supravalvular mitral ring with obstruction, surgical resection is commonly performed.

Results: There are no reports of long-term follow-up after resecting the supravalvular mitral ring.

Conclusion: In our case, no mitral stenosis was evident on postoperative echocardiogram performed 3 years after surgery.
