Echocardiographic diagnosis of a stenotic double orifice parachute mitral valve with a single papillary muscle.

摘要

We present the case of a patient with a single papillary muscle that is supporting both orifices of a stenotic double orifice mitral valve. With the use of both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, we were able to prospectively define this entity, which was confirmed at surgery.
