Abstract
Echocardiographic description of isolated cleft of the mitral valve is not always as accurate as intraoperative analysis. This is a distinct morphologic entity from the cleft of the left-sided valve of atrioventricular septal defect, and seems associated with a strong female predominance, with various cardiac and extracardiac features. Surgical repair is successful with excellent midterm results.
