Supra-annular Mitral Valve Replacement Using a Composite Valve for an Infant with Acute Rupture of Chordae Tendineae

Acute rupture of the chordae tendineae of the mitral valve could lead to severe mitral regurgitation and circulatory collapse in infants. Mitral valve replacement may be often challenging because of the valve-annulus size mismatch in small infants when mitral valve repair cannot be accomplished. We present an infant with acute massive rupture of the chordae tendineae of the mitral valve who successfully underwent supra-annular mitral valve replacement using the short composite valve of an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene( ePTFE) graft and a mechanical valve. His mechanical valve has been functioning without complications such as thrombosis and pulmonary venous obstruction for 20 months after surgery. This technique could be helpful even infants with acute rupture of the chordae tendineae of the mitral valve whose left atrium may not be dilated.
