    Author: Silva IA, Matos LAL, Sant'Anna C, Croti UA.
    Journal: Braz J Cardiovasc Surg; 2024 May 15; 39(4):e20230278. PubMed ID: 38748990.
    Abstract:
    CLINICAL DATA: Female, seven years old, referred to our service complaining about congestive heart failure symptoms due to mitral valve regurgitation and atrial septal defect. Technical description: Echocardiographic findings compatible with Barlow's disease and atrial septal defect, ostium secundum type. OPERATION: She was submitted to mitral valvuloplasty with chordal shortening and prosthetic posterior ring (Gregori-Braile®) along with patch atrioseptoplasty. COMMENTS: Mitral valve regurgitation is a rare congenital heart disease and Barlow's disease is probably rarer. Mitral valve repair is the treatment of choice.
