A thickened anterior mitral leaflet and shortened posterior mitral leaflet, combined with mitral annular dilation associated with atrial fibrillation and restored left ventricular geometry, may aggravate MR after ASD closure. Careful follow-up is needed for patients with atrial fibrillation, a thickened anterior mitral leaflet, or a shortened posterior mitral leaflet.
