Most young adults in New Zealand with severe RHD requiring surgery are of indigenous Maori or Pacific Island ethnicity. There is a trend towards improved survival with mitral repair. There is a significant tendency towards increased bleeding complications in patients on warfarin for mechanical mitral replacement. Warfarin compliance is poor.
