Hi, @bellheartmom. Here is a response from Dr. Dearani: Mitral regurgitation is not commonly associated with TAPVR. The medical program that your child is on appears to be appropriate. If the mitral regurgitation continues to get worse and the heart starts to show evidence of dilatation then it is possible that surgical intervention may be necessary. If surgery is needed, mitral valve repair would be the preferred operation.
