Doppler echocardiography of double orifice of the left atrioventricular valve in atrioventricular septal defect.
A left atrioventricular valve having a double orifice is a rare congenital abnormality, and is most commonly described in association with atrioventricular septal defect. We report the Doppler echocardiographic findings of this abnormality and present a case where limited surgical repair has resulted in a favourable outcome.
