[Concomitant mitral valvuloplasty and fenestrated total cavopulmonary connection: a case report].
A seven-year-old boy with tricuspid atresia successfully underwent a fenestrated total cavopulmonary connection and mitral valvuloplasty. Preoperative cardiac catheterization showed a mean pulmonary artery pressure of 16 mmHg. Pulmonary arteriography showed poor development of the branches (PA index: 180). Echocardiography revealed mild to moderate mitral valve incompetence due to prolapse of anterior leaflet. Mitral valve was exposed through the trans-septal approach. The excess chorda length was tucked into a longitudinal split in the top of the posterior papillary muscle. Then wedge resection of the redundant segment of the anterior leaflet and bilateral annuloplasty were performed. Finally, a total extracardiac cavopulmonary anastomosis with a 6 mm fenestration was completed. Postoperative clinical course was uneventful, and he is doing well with no recurrence of mitral incompetence 1 year after the operation.
