Case Report: Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair in a Patient with Fontan Repair for a Single Functional Ventricle

Mitral regurgitation (MR) can complicate congenital heart disease, particularly when secondary to left ventricular dysfunction and mitral annular dilation. Significant MR is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in patients with reduced LV systolic function, with recent studies demonstrating that percutaneous mitral valve repair can significantly reduce hospitalizations and all-cause mortality.
