  • Title: Isolated cleft mitral valve with severe regurgitation resulting in a left inferior pulmonary vein varix diagnosed from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
    Author: Teo LL, Hia CP, Ling LH, Quek SC.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 2013 Apr; 34(4):1055-6. PubMed ID: 23143311.
    Abstract:
    Isolated cleft mitral valve (ICMV) is a rare entity not known to be related to pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD). This report describes the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to diagnose ICMV in a patient with repaired PA-VSD who presented with incidental severe mitral regurgitation (MR) on follow-up echocardiography. An associated pulmonary varix secondary to the severe MR also was shown by CMR.
