Double-orifice right atrioventricular valve associated with partial atrioventricular septal defect.
We describe the case of a double-orifice right atrioventricular valve that was discovered at operation for an associated atrioventricular septal defect. The diagnosis and operative management are discussed. Developmental concepts illustrate the mechanism by which this defect arises, and emphasize that its great rarity remains an enigma.
