Abstract

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited connective tissue disorder. Left ventricle dilation and valve insufficiency are complications in patients with OI and such patients are at high risk of mortality and complications related to bleeding and tissue friability during cardiac surgery. Valve dehiscence due to extreme friability of the annulus is a major complication of cardiac valve replacement with OI. We describe OI in a male patient who underwent double valve replacement with mechanical valves using a tissue protective method to prevent valve dehiscence.
