Abstract
Mitral valve prolapse is a disease which causes mitral regurgitation, which is one of the common causes of mitral insufficiency.With the aggravation of blood reflux, mitral valve prolapse will eventually lead to pulmonary hypertension, heart failure and even death in children.The main diagnostic methods include chest X-ray, echocardiography, spiral CT and magnetic resonance imaging.Mitral valvuloplasty is the main surgical method for mitral valve prolapse in children.It includes valvuloplasty, annuloplasty, tendon chordoplasty, edge-to-edge mitral valve repair, and so on.Now, the progress in surgical diagnosis and treatment of mitral valve prolapse in children were reviewed in order to provide a meaningful reference for its individual treatment.
