Double-orifice mitral valve in an elderly patient with tetralogy of Fallot.
The patient was a 67-year-old man receiving medical treatment for tetralogy of Fallot at our hospital. A routine follow-up echocardiogram revealed a double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) associated with his tetralogy of Fallot. DOMV is often associated with endocardial cushion defect, however, DOMV associated with tetralogy of Fallot is extremely rare in elderly patients.
