Abstract
Supra-annular MVR is useful for children with a small annulus. Operative survival is good with infrequent heart block. Complications are common, including redo MVR and need for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction relief. Pulmonary vein stenosis is a marker for poor outcome; all patients without pulmonary vein stenosis survive long term.
