Background - Parachute mitral valve (PMV) is defined as a unifocal attachment of the mitral valve chordae to a single or dominant papillary muscle and may cause subvalvar obstruction. We sought to determine factors associated with outcomes.Methods and Results - Patients (n = 84; 64% male) who presented between 1977 and 2001 at a median age of 3 days ( range, birth to 5.4 years) were assessed with PMV ( without atrioventricular septal defect). Associated cardiac anomalies in 99% included aortic coarctation in 68%, atrial septal defect in 54%, ventricular septal defect in 46%, aortic valve stenosis in 32%, subaortic stenosis in 20%, and left ventricular hypoplasia in 19%, with complex anomalies in 14%. Noncardiac anomalies were noted in 32%. Survival (n = 18 deaths) was 82% at 1 year and 79% at 10 years, with independent risk factors including left ventricular hypoplasia (P < 0.001) and atrial septal defect (P < 0.003). Freedom from surgical mitral valvotomy (n = 11 patients) was 95% at age 6 months and 80% at 10 years, with independent risk factors including the absence of aortic coarctation (P < 0.02) and the presence of subaortic stenosis (P < 0.04). There was no significant increase in mean gradient of the PMV over time, but higher gradient was independently associated with the presence of supravalvar mitral stenosis (P < 0.001), absence of atrial septal defect (P < 0.04), presence of ventricular septal defect (P < 0.02), and subsequent mitral valvotomy (P < 0.01).Conclusions - Outcomes for patients with PMV are dependent on the spectrum of associated cardiac lesions. The degree of mitral valve obstruction remains stable, and the majority will not require valvotomy.
