Abstract
We herein report the case of a woman with clefts in the anterior and posterior mitral leaflets causing mitral insufficiency. The patient developed heart failure symptoms in the eighth decade of life and underwent mitral valve repair, with suture closure of both clefts. The reasons of its late presentation are discussed.Entities:
