Overview
A double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by two valve orifices with two separate subvalvular apparatus. It is mostly associated with atrioventricular septal defect, but may also be associated with other congenital heart defects such as left-sided obstructive lesions, ventricular septal defects or cyanotic lesions. Isolated DOMV have been rarely reported.
