AB - A 19-year-old man with Down syndrome had congenital mitral regurgitation. He had slight mental retardation and difficulty in performing independent oral drug administration. We planned mitral valve plasty to avoid postoperative anticoagulant therapy. The mitral valve lesions were complicated. A prolapsed anterior mitral leaflet, shortened posterior leaflet, abnormal cleft, abnormal papillary muscle, and enlarged annulus were observed. Successful mitral valve plasty was performed using several techniques. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no significant mitral regurgitation was found.
