OBJECTIVE: A Double-orifice in the mitral valve is an uncommon congenital cardiac lesion which occurs as an isolated anomaly or in association with other cardiac malformation. This report deals with our surgical experience of a double-orifice of the mitral valve in cases with an atrioventricular canal defect. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1991 through 1999, ten patients were diagnosed to have a double-orifice of the mitral valve at Shizuoka Children's Hospital. Each patient had associated major cardiac malformations, among which atrioventricular canal defect underwent surgical management, with five of these undergoing complete correction with or without previous pulmonary artery banding. Of these 10, the five cases were enrolled in this study. Two of these had a complete type, and the other three had a partial type. The cleft in the left-sided atrioventricular valve was closed partially in four and left untouched in one. Bridging tissue, when present, was left intact. There was no regurgitation from any accessory orifice and no repair for an accessory orifice was needed. RESULT: There was no late death and no replacement of the valve with prosthesis. During follow-up ranging from 1 to 4 years, none of the patients developed severe stenosis or progressive regurgitation in the left-sided atrioventricular valve. CONCLUSION: Meticulous surgical management of a double-orifice in the mitral valve in association with atrioventricular canal defect an achieve an acceptable midterm result without developing severe dysfunction in the left-sided atrioventricular valve. |
