Surgical repair of a submitral annular aneurysm in a child
T Abe, K Sugiki and S Komatsu
A 5-year-old Japanese boy was admitted to the hospital with a submitral
annular aneurysm of unknown etiology. Aneurysmectomy and repair of this
defect with a Gore-Tex patch were performed. A review of English- language
literature indicates that this is the first reported case of a submitral
annular aneurysm in an Oriental child.
