  • Title: Atrioventricular septal defect with intact septal structures presenting as left atrioventricular valvar insufficiency.
    Author: Croti UA, De Marchi CH, Aiello VD.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2006 Feb; 16(1):92-4. PubMed ID: 16454887.
    Abstract:
    We describe the findings in a six-year-old girl who presented with signs of left atrioventricular valvar insufficiency. The echocardiogram showed a common atrioventricular junction, intact atrial and ventricular septal structures. At surgery, the left-sided atrioventricular valve was found to be tri-foliate, and corrected by valvoplasty. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of atrioventricular septal defect with common atrioventricular junction and intact septal structures diagnosed during life.
