Abstract
Objective
Infants requiring mitral valve replacement have few viable options. Recently, stented bovine jugular vein graft (Melody) has been surgically implanted in such cases. Herein, we report our experience, elaborating on evolution of implantation technique, pitfalls, as well as long-term outcome (including late dilatability).
Methods
Seven Melody valves were implanted (2013-2019). The median patient age and weight were 6.7 (1.8-30.5) months and 5.8 (4.6-9.5) kg, respectively. The indications for implantation were mitral stenosi
