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.

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.
