Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital abnormality with mirror symmetry of mediastinal and abdominal organs. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an autoimmune disease with destruction of thrombocytes. This paper is presentation of surgical approach to a case with coexistence of these two conditions.

Abstract Supravalvar mitral ring is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by a ridge of connective tissue located above the mitral valve. It is a cause of congenital mitral stenosis typically presenting in childhood and usually associated with other cardiac abnormalities. We report the rare case of a 24-year-old male presenting with an isolated aneurysmal supravalvar mitral ring. He presented at the emergency room with a 2-week history of worsening heart failure symptoms and antecedent effort intolerance of 4 years duration. He was referred from a primary care facility with an echo diagnosis of cor-triatriatum. Echocardiography done at our centre revealed an isolated aneurysmal supravalvar mitral ring of the intramitral variant. This report highlights the unusual isolated presentation of a supravalvar mitral ring in a young adult and the need to carefully differentiate it from cor-triatriatum, a possible close mimic.

Double Orifice

Double orifice mitral valve is a very rare congenital abnormality. Well known associations of this pathology with other congenital lesions point to a complex and central pathophysiological mechanism leading to a sequence of pathologies. These associations have long been realized and arbitrarily defined as Shone complex. We would like to present a 21-year-old patient with double orifice mitral valve associated with bicuspid aortic valve, with a brief review of the literature on possible central mechanisms leading to different subsets of congenital abnormalities involving these two.

Objective Owing to the complex anatomy of the mitral valve, successful surgical repair of degenerative regurgitation remains a challenging procedure in cardiac surgery. Methods This paper aimed to report on our single-center experience with 20 patients who received an adjustable annuloplasty ring (Cardinal ring, ValtechCardio Ltd, Or Yehuda, Israel) as part of their mitral valve repair procedure. The device allows for intraoperative echocardiography-guided ring size adjustments under beating-heart conditions. Results All of the 20 patients left the operating room without any residual mitral regurgitation. There was no risk of systolic anterior movement (SAM) because of image-guided fine tuning of the ring before weaning the patient from bypass. Conclusions Further multicenter data are required to prove the concept of adjustable annuloplasty devices.

Valve Area

A 22-year-old female with mirror image dextrocardia and rheumatic valvular mitral stenosis underwent closed mitral valvotomy using a Tubb's dilator with good results. Despite abnormal position of situs, the surgical approach was simple through right anterolateral thoracotomy, and the operator's hands were mirror image to that of levocardia valvotomy in certain steps. Preoperative mitral valve area was 0.8 cm2, and peak and mean diastolic gradients were 21 and 15 mmHg respectively. Postoperatively, valve area improved to 2.16 cm2, and peak and mean diastolic gradients were 8 and 3.1 mmHg, respectively.
