Double orifice mitral valve is a rare congenital anomaly that is often
associated with other congenital cardiac abnormalities. Patients may
present with valvular dysfunction or may be asymptomatic and have an
incidental diagnosis of double outlet mitral valve. Whether symptoms due
to this pathology are present or not, it is important to accurately
characterize this lesion. 3-dimensional imaging is a powerful diagnostic
modality for diagnosing and characterizing lesions such as this as
highlighted in this case image series.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
