A member asked:

When mitral valve repair is done on babies is it the same process a annupolsty ring is inserted the same way as adults?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: Mv problems in a child is totally different in a child. The ring is rarely used as it may reduce growth. There are many mitral valve problems in a child related to defects.
