Parachute mitral valve and a large ventricular septal defect in an asymptomatic adult.
I report here on an asymptomatic 28-year-old man with a parachute mitral valve associated with a significant ventricular septal defect and a stenosing supravalvular mitral ring. This condition has not been reported previously in an asymptomatic adult.
