Isolated Cleft of the Mitral Valve: Distinctive Features and Surgical Management
Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 09/02/09

Abadir S et al. – Echocardiographic description of isolated cleft of the mitral valve is not always as accurate as intraoperative analysis.

Surgical repair is successful with excellent midterm results.
