  • Title: Mitral insufficiency and aortic valve stenosis in infancy associated with endocardial fibroelastosis, surgical treatment and long-term results.
    Author: Di Benedetto G, Tiraboschi R, Ferrazzi P, Annecchino P, Gamba A, Parenzan L.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1981 Jun; 29(3):192-4. PubMed ID: 6167022.
    Abstract:
    Surgical treatment of mitral insufficiency and aortic valve stenosis associated with endocardial fibroelastosis has not been well documented. We treated 2 infants with this complex lesion: in one case it was possible to repair the mitral valve. The long-term results are quite encouraging and emphasize that this lesion should be treated early to avoid the risk of compromising the left ventricular function, although the chance of a valve replacement in an infant can be high.
