[Reoperation for mitral regurgitation 13 years after aortic valve replacement and manouguian's anulus enlargement: report of a case].
The patient was 22-year-old female. She had undergone aortic valve replacement and Manouguian's anulus enlargement with low porosity woven Dacron patch for congenital aortic stenosis 13 years ago, and developed mitral regurgitation 9 years after that operation. Two regurgitant flow were observed. One was originated from the orifice due to mitral prolapse. The other was from a tear in the anterior leaflet. It was around the tip of the prosthetic patch, approximately 7 mm in size, and was repaired easily. But the mitral valve itself was found to be malformed and prolapsed, requiring mitral valve replacement. Her postoperative course was uneventful.
