Abstract

When considered separately from mitral valve ­anomalies associated with atrioventricular septal defects and with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, congenital mitral valve malformations resulting in mitral stenosis are rare. Reported prevalence is 0.4–0.5% of congenital heart defects [1–3]. Acquired mitral stenosis is primarily related to rheumatic heart disease and, though uncommon in the United States, remains a ­considerable problem for children worldwide.
