Morphologic features of the uniatrial but biventricular atrioventricular connection

Straddling of a solitary atrioventricular valve with an absent atrioventricular connection produces a uniatrial but biventricular connection. In this setting, the valve guarding the abnormal solitary atrioventricular junction cannot be classified morphologically as mitral or tricuspid. The markedly variable valvar morphology likely makes these valves prone to insufficiency in the long term.
