Published: January 2020

Background: This review aims to discuss morphology and surgical management of parachute mitral valve.

Methods: A total of 62 articles in the English language with 330 parachute mitral valve patients were retrieved from the PubMed, HighWire Press, and Cochrane Library databases using specific MeSH terms and keywords between January 2000 and December 2018. In these articles, morphology of parachute mitral valve and surgical treatment options were investigated.

Results: A non-syndromic parachute mitral valve was present in 287 patients (87.0%) and a syndromic parachute mitral valve was present in 43 patients (13.0%). A higher number of patients with a non-syndromic parachute mitral valve presented with congestive heart failure compared to syndromic ones. The patients with a non-syndromic parachute mitral valve often had mitral regurgitation, while syndromic parachute mitral valve patients often had mitral stenosis.

Conclusion: Parachute mitral valves are usually not an isolated lesion and are often characterized by a constellation of pathological changes of the mitral valve leaflets, annulus, commissures, subvalvular apparatus, and supravalvular mitral ring. Therefore, the majority of the patients need one or more surgical operations. The incidence of adverse events such as reintervention, postoperative complete heart block, and mortality is high in these patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Shone complex (SC) is a rare congenital heart disease involving four obstructive lesions in the left side of the heart, making up 0.6-0.7% of CHD cases.
  • A 4-week-old male neonate with SC presented severe respiratory distress and related symptoms, leading to a diagnosis that included multiple heart issues and a successful surgical intervention at five months.
  • Early detection through echocardiography and multidisciplinary care is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes in SC cases.

Article Synopsis
  • Shone's syndrome (SS) is a rare congenital heart defect with a range of developmental issues.
  • It mainly features left ventricular inflow and outflow tract lesions, including parachute mitral valve and supravalvular mitral ring.
  • Cases involving a double-orifice mitral valve in Shone's syndrome are not commonly reported.

Atrioventricular valve parachute deformity is rare and is generally seen in the mitral position, called the parachute mitral valve. It is rare to see it in the tricuspid valve and up to now, there have been approximately 14 cases of parachute abnormalities in tricuspid valves in a literature review. We present here a 21-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with progressive shortness of breath over several months.

Background: Multilevel obstruction in left ventricular inflow and outflow predisposes to arrhythmias in Shone's complex (SC).

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to study the prevalence and outcomes (heart failure [HF] hospitalization, cardiac transplant, death) of cardiac arrhythmias in adults with SC.

Methods: Adults with SC (defined as ≥2 lesions out of supramitral ring, parachute mitral valve, subvalvular/valvular aortic stenosis (AS), and aortic coarctation) seen at Mayo Clinic between January 1999 and March 2020 were identified and evaluated for the presence of sustained atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular arrhythmias (VA).
