[A case of isolated congenital mitral insufficiency].
A 1-year and 8-month-old girl admitted to our hospital because of wheeze and dyspnea. Echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization confirmed isolated congenital mitral insufficiency with pulmonary hypertension. She was treated with reconstructive surgery consisting of suture of clefted anterior mitral leaflet and annuloplasty. Her postoperative course was uneventual and mitral regurgitation was remarkably improved.
