Reconstruction of the mitral and aortic annuli for advanced management of the Shone complex.

Shone's complex is a congenital cardiac abnormality which consists of surpravalvular mitral ring, parachute mitral valve, subaortic stenosis and aortic coarctation. Initial operative management has traditionally proven difficult, with multiple procedures often necessary to control symptoms. Advanced management had required a careful, individual approach based on both clinical and anatomic patient presentation. We present the first patient in whom mitral and aortic annular reconstruction with bovine pericardial gussets was successful in managing the late sequelae of Shone complex.
