Risk factors for mitral valve dysfunction, reoperation and death following repair of the primary mitral valve disease in children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

After primary mitral valve (MV) repair, residual mitral valve regurgitation (MR) and recurred mitral valve stenosis (MS) are the principal occurrences. This study's purpose is to identify the risk factors of MV dysfunction, reoperation and death following repair of primary MV diseases.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 98 patients (47 males and 51 females) with primary MV diseases between January 2013 and December 2021. The median age was 34 months [interquartile range (IQR), 11.4-59] for male and 24 months (IQR, 7.35-72) for female. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) and left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) were assessed to evaluate patient's left ventricular function.
