Association of prolapse of posterior cusp of mitral valve and atrial septal defect.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eleven patients with fossa ovalis atrial septal defects and prolapse of the posterior cusp of the mitral valve are described. Six patients had clinical evidence of mitral regurgitation, and in 2 others the electrocardiogram was unusual for uncomplicated fossa ovalis atrial septal defects. The varied appearance of the prolapsed cusp was shown by left ventricular angiography. The principal significance of this association is in its differentiation from atrioventricular defects.

Prolapsed mitral cusps in atrial septal defect. An erroneous radiological interpretation.
Forty patients with simple atrial septal defect had left ventriculograms using cineangiography and/or Elema or Sircam still films. All had open heart surgery and careful scrutiny of the mitral valve by experienced surgeons. Prolapse of the posterior cusp was diagnosed from angiography in 28 patients but was confirmed at operation in only 5. Another 5 had a different mitral valve abnormality and...
متن کاملSecundum atrial septal defect and significant mitral regurgitation: incidence, management and morphologic basis.
To better understand the association between mitral regurgitation and secundum atrial septal defect and to clarify the evaluation and management of these patients, the records of 235 adult patients with atrial septal defect were reviewed. Ten patients (4 percent) had significant mitral regurgitation defined by clinical, hemodynamic and angiographic criteria. Three patients required mitral valve...
متن کاملAssociation between Body Mass Index and Mitral Valve Prolapse
Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) can affect cardiac morphology; however, the relationship between BMI and valvular heart diseases has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and mitral valve prolapse (MVP) as one of the most common valve diseases worldwide. It can help us to better understand pathophysiology of this common disease. Materials ...
متن کامل[Persistent common atrioventricular canal].
T HIS PAPER was written first in 1960. At that time cases of the complete form of persistent common atrioventricular canal or endocardial cushion defect were regarded as consisting of an ostium primum defect of the atrial septum, a cleft in the anterior cusp of the mitral valve, a cleft in the septal cusp of the tricuspid valve, and an interventricular septal defect. Partial forms of the defect...
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...
