  • Title: A rare case of quadrileaflet mitral valve and ostium primum atrial septal defect.
    Author: Fiore C, Kemaloglu Oz T, Lombardi L, Sinani R, Gregorini R, Almaghraby A.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2021 May; 38(5):767-771. PubMed ID: 33778991.
    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old woman was referred to our clinic for evaluation of her rapidly progressive dyspnea, and she had no previous history of heart disease. A murmur was noted on her examination, and transthoracic echocardiography was so difficult to be performed due to poor acoustic windows so she was referred to do a transesophageal echocardiography that showed an ostium primum atrial septal defect (ASD) with left-to-right shunt and a quadrileaflet mitral valve with severe regurgitation. Later on, she underwent surgery with ostium primum ASD closure by a patch and double cleft repair by suture after right heart catheterization.
