متن کاملMitral valve in secundum atrial septal defects.
The mitral valve in 15 of 16 adult hearts with unclosed secundum atrial septal defects showed a consistent abnormality consisting of thickening of the medial half of the anterior cusp and some fusion of adjacent chordae. Histologically the lesion is a surface fibrosis without vascularisation or myxomatous change to suggest a rheumatic or floppy valve. The high frequency and morphological appear...
