A 3-year-old girl with congenital mitral stenosis associated with severe pulmonary hypertension was successfully operated upon. The mitral stenosis was a commissural fusion type with severe infravalvular changes. First attempt to fix regurgitation with mitral commissurotomy was unsuccessful, which was followed by prosthetic valve replacement. Her postoperative course was uneventful. A review of Japanese literatures is reviewed as well.
