Partial atrioventricular septal defect with left atrioventricular valve
aneurysm mimicking valve perforation
Abstract
Left atrioventricular valve aneurysm is rare. We present a rare case of
partial atrioventricular septal defect with an extremely thin left
atrioventricular valve aneurysm mimicking valve perforation. The
preoperative echocardiography demonstrated severe left sided
atrioventricular valve regurgitation on the “cleft” and leaflet
perforation. But in per-operative, we discovered a left sided
atrioventricular valve aneurysm instead of valve perforation. The
“cleft” edge and a aneurysm were closed.
