Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy which is characterized by prominent and extensive trabeculation and deep intertrabecular recesses communicating with left ventricular cavity. Here we present a rare case report of patient with severe secondary Mitral regurgitation (MR) and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in LVNC cardiomyopathy who underwent MV Repair using ring annuloplasty with #28 CG future ring and kay’s suture annuloplasty for severe TR and its postoperative management. Patient recovered well after surgery and was discharged with improved hemodynamics. The valve surgery in patients with such cardiomyopathy is very rare. This case will add to the small growing literature of surgery in severe secondary Mitral regurgitation in LVNC and the problems we faced while coming off bypass and its postoperative management.Downloads
