Abstract

A newborn with prenatally diagnosed dysplasia of both atrioventricular valves presented after birth with signs and symptoms of low cardiac output, severe regurgitation of both mitral and tricuspid valves. This combination is as rare as challenging, since it regards both the timing and management of this complex cardiac malformation. We report an early surgical repair of both atrioventricular valves in a symptomatic newborn, which improved his clinical status and, so far, delayed valve replacement.
