Mitral valve replacement for small pediatric patients is technically difficult because of the small annulus and requires some technical ideas. The chimney technique is useful for supra-annular mitral valve replacement. We describe a paediatric case of early re-replacement owing to pannus formation after mitral valve replacement using the chimney technique.
由于小儿瓣环较小,二尖瓣置换术技术难度大,需要一些技术思路。烟囱技术对于瓣上型二尖瓣置换术是有用的。我们描述了一例小儿病例,由于使用烟囱技术行二尖瓣置换术后形成血栓,导致早期再次置换。
