[A case of supravalvular mitral ring].
A two-year-old girl with supravalvular mitral ring successfully underwent the excision of the ring. The preoperative echocardiogram showed supravalvular mitral ring and almost normal mitral leaflets. We paid attention not to injury mitral valve at the excision of the ring because supravalvular mitral ring adhered to the mitral valve.
