Mitral valve replacement is difficult due to small annulus size, non-availability of small valve, growth of the child, poor early and long term result and reoperation, side effect of anticoagulant. Mitral annulus can be enlarged and there are so many small size valve available like melody valve, cylindrical valve and ROSS procedure. Redo MVR is more common due to annular growth with functional stenosis.
