A 59‐year‐old male was incidentally diagnosed with a left atrial mitral valve chordae involving the junction of the A1 and A2 mitral valve leaflets and resulting in moderate mitral regurgitation.

Abstract

We report an unusual case of moderate mitral regurgitation caused by abnormal insertion of chordae tendinea to the interatrial septum and tethering the middle scallop of the anterior mitral leaflet. This is an extremely rare congenital abnormality causing mitral regurgitation. (Echocardiography 2012;29:E87-E90) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
