J Card Surg. 2017 Nov;32(11):691-693. doi: 10.1111/jocs.13237. Epub 2017 Nov 23.

Abstract

Accessory mitral valve (AMV) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and endocarditis. We report a patient with an AMV who presented with a cerebellar infarct and discuss the management of this anomaly.

Keywords: accessory mitral valve; cerebrovascular accident; congenital heart disease; endocarditits; mitral valve; valve repair/replacement.
