Severe Mitral Insufficiency secondary to Isolated Mitral Cleft: Review from a clinical case

Severe mitral valve reguritacion secondary to an Isolated cleft of the mitral valve: a review based on a clinical case Mitral Cleft is a rare congenital defect that is commonly associated with others pathologies; nevertheless, in rare occasions it can be found as an isolated defect. This finding is paramount from clinical perspective as it is a reparable defect and not necessarily ends in valvular replacement. Its assessment is primarily by transthoracic echocardiography with the addition of 3D technology that provides a more detailed delimitation of the extent of the lesion, as well as detailed assessment of the whole mitral valve apparatus. In this article, we present a case of severe mitral regurgitation without a clear ethiology at glance, but posteriorly identified with the aid of transthoracic 3D echocardiography, as an isolated mitral cleft and also, allowed to rule out other possible etiologies and mechanisms.

Keywords : isolated cleft mitral valve; mitral valve cleft; severe mitral valve regurgitacion; congenital heart disease; 3Dechocardiography; valve repair.
