    Abstract:
    A 12-month-old infant, weighting 6.7 kg, underwent mitral valve replacement with a 17 mm Björk-Shiley prosthetic valve for parachute mitral valve, and patch closure of the associated ventricular and coronary sinus septal defects. Progressive pulmonary artery hypertension and heart failure required surgical intervention. The diagnosis of parachute mitral valve and associated lesions was established by echocardiogram and angiogram. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and he is doing well 3 years after the operation. To our knowledge this is the first successful case to be reported in the literature with such combination of the congenital anomalies.
