  • Title: Secundum atrial septal defect and cleft mitral valve.
    Author: Davies RS, Green DC, Brott WH.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1977 Jul; 24(1):28-33. PubMed ID: 879877.
    Abstract:
    The association of a secundum atrial septal defect and mitral insufficiency is not uncommon. Five patients with this combination of lesions are presented and the pathological anatomy of the mitral valve is discussed. All 5 patients demonstrated a similar cleft mitral valve; 2 had cleft valves when only mitral valve prolapse was suspected preoperatively. The surgical implication of these lesions is discussed.
