    Pediatric valve replacement surgery, including aortic and mitral valve replacement, showed positive outcomes in young patients. Survivors experienced improved clinical status with low rates of complications like thromboembolism.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Cardiac Valve Disease

    Background:

    • Valve replacement in pediatric patients is complex.
    • Congenital heart disease, rheumatic disease, and Marfan's syndrome are common indications.
    • Various prosthetic valves have been utilized.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review outcomes of valve replacement surgery in pediatric patients.
    • To analyze patient demographics, valve types, and underlying conditions.
    • To assess early and late mortality and morbidity.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 27 pediatric valve replacement cases.
    • Analysis of patient age, diagnosis, valve type, and prosthesis used.
    • Follow-up for clinical improvement, mortality, and complications.

    Main Results:

    • 27 valve replacements performed in patients aged 5 months to 20 years.
    • Aortic and mitral valve replacements were most common.
    • Survivors demonstrated significant clinical improvement with no thromboembolism, and infrequent complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric valve replacement can lead to favorable clinical outcomes.
    • Careful patient selection and prosthesis choice are crucial.
    • Long-term monitoring is essential for managing potential complications.
