Parachute deformity of the mitral valve.
Shone, Sellers, Anderson, Adams, Lillehei, and Edwards (1963) descri;bed a developmental deformity of the mitral valve characterized by insertion of the chordae tendineae into a single papillary muscle, producing a funnel-shaped valve which is to some degree stenotic. They employed the term 'parachute' first used by Edwards (1961), and noted an association with other leftsided cardiac deformiti...
متن کاملExuberant accessory mitral valve tissue with possible true parachute mitral valve: a case report
INTRODUCTION A parachute mitral valve is defined as a unifocal attachment of mitral valve chordae tendineae independent of the number of papillary muscles. Data from the literature suggests that the valve can be distinguished on the basis of morphological features as either a parachute-like asymmetrical mitral valve or a true parachute mitral valve. A parachute-like asymmetrical mitral valve ha...
متن کاملSuccessful Replacement of "parachute" Mitral Valve in a Child.
HE DEFORMITY called "parachute mitral valve" represents a form of congenital mitral stenosis in which the chordae tendineae converge to insert into one papil-lary muscle.' This type of malformation is rare and has been described previously only in association with other anomalies; with corrected transposition of the great vessels;2 as a component of a developmental complex' with other obstructi...
متن کاملInfective endocarditis in a parachute-like asymmetrical mitral valve.
A 21-year-old woman was admitted to our unit with suspected infective endocarditis. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated vegetation in a parachute-like asymmetrical mitral valve with severe mitral regurgitation. She was completely asymptomatic before this presentation. Though there was no evidence of mitral stenosis, this deformity is associated with transvalvular turb...
متن کاملCongenital mitral valve disease associated with coarctation of the aorta: a spectrum that includes parachute deformity of the mitral valve.
Fifty-three specimens in which the primary diagnosis in life was coaretation of the aorta were examined; only nine had a mitral valve of normal size and configuration. Ten specimens had a normally formed valve mechanism which was small in comparison to both tricuspid valve and left ventricle. Three other specimens had a normally formed but small valve which exhibited a short free margin of the ...
