Recognition of a cleft mitral valve utilizing real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography.
We present a case in which real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography was utilized to obtain better understanding of a cleft mitral valve. Additionally, the embryological development of a cleft mitral valve will be reiterated.
