Abstract:
A 45 year-old man who suffered with palpitation and dyspnea for 3 years visited our hospital. He was dianosed as mitral insufficieny due to isolated cleft mitral valve in anterior mitral leaflet on the basis of transthoracic echocardiogram In our case edges of the cleft were relatively thin and smooth. The entire length of the cleft was sutured with 5-0 Prolene(R) interrupted sutures. We report a case of direct suture repair in a patient with isolated cleft in anterior mitral valve leaflet.
