Abstract

In the spectrum of mitral valve anomalies, unguarded mitral orifice is an exceedingly rare malformation, with only four cases described in the current literature. All previously reported cases have been associated with discordant atrioventricular connections. We describe the first known case of unguarded mitral valve orifice, in the setting of atrioventricular concordance, in a newborn with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
