Tri-leaflet mitral valve in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy Open
A tri-leaflet mitral valve (MV) is an extremely rare phenomenon, often associated with significant mitral regurgitation (MR). It may represent a phenotypic expression of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). We present the case o…
