Intervention

Open heart surgery (minor repair to a cleft, mitral valve replacement, or leaving the valve untouched)

Outcome

Surgical outcomes and mortalityhard clinical

Double mitral valve orifice in atrioventricular defects can complicate surgical repair and cause early deterioration if stenotic, highlighting the importance of preoperative diagnosis via echocardiography or angiography.
