Abstract
Surgical management of congenital malformation of the mitral valve (MV) in the pediatric age group remains a therapeutic challenge for the wide spectrum of the morphological abnormalities and the high incidence of associated cardiac anomalies. We reviewed our experience so as to assess whether MV conservative surgery is always advisable and its results are superior to MV replacement.
