Incomplete Shone’s complex, surgical resolution through minimally invasive approach

 

Anomalies in the mitral valve are frequently reported in congenital diseases, Shone et al. first described a complex in 1963 that consisted of 4 simultaneous anomalies: parachute mitral valve, supra-annular mitral ring, subaortic stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta (1,2). Since the original description, the “Shone’s complex” definition has broadened to include other patients with other congenital obstructive lesions, as the majority of patients have only 2 or 3 of thes anomalies (3). We present the surgical resolution through a minimally invasive approach.
