Abstract
We present a case of successful repair of the mitral valve for
active infective endocarditis. Mitral valve repair was performed
through debridement of vegetation and abscess, resection and
repair of the posterior mitral leaflet and posterior repair with
autologous pericardium. Postoperative period was uneventfully,
with no evidence of recurrent infection, and echocardiogram
showed mitral valve competence with mild mitral regurgitation.
We demonstrate that valve repair is a feasible choice in cases of
active endocarditis in children.
