  • Title: [Surgical treatment of double-orifice mitral valve associated with incomplete-type endocardial cushion defect].
    Author: Ogino H, Miki S, Ueda Y, Tahata T, Morioka K, Sakai T.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1996 Mar; 49(3):231-3. PubMed ID: 8709432.
    Abstract:
    We report surgical treatment of double-orifice mitral valve (DOMV) associated with incomplete-type endocardial cushion defect. All three cases had "central type DOMV classified by Cascos" with bridging tissue between two mitral orifices. We closed mitral cleft in the two cases with moderate mitral regurgitation, although we left the bridging tissue. It is thought to be beneficial to leave the bridging tissue undivided to avoid postoperative mitral regurgitation in such cases.
