    Summary

    A complex double valve replacement using St. Jude valves successfully treated severe aortic and mitral regurgitation in an infant. The child is developing normally one year after this life-saving cardiac surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Infantile heart failure due to severe aortic and mitral regurgitation.
    • Previous aortic valvotomy for congenital aortic stenosis.
    • Development of infarcted papillary muscle leading to valve dysfunction.

    Observation:

    • A 6-month-old infant presented with critical heart failure.
    • Severe aortic and mitral regurgitation were diagnosed.
    • Congenital aortic stenosis history noted.

    Findings:

    • Successful double valve replacement performed with St. Jude valves.
    • Manouguian and Konno procedures were utilized for valve annulus enlargement.
    • Postoperative anticoagulation management evolved from aspirin/dipyridamole to warfarin after prosthesis clotting was resolved with thrombolytics.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the feasibility of complex biventricular valve repair in infants.
    • Advanced surgical techniques can effectively manage severe congenital heart valve disease.
    • Long-term outcomes suggest favorable development following successful valve replacement and anticoagulation therapy.
