Abstract
Atrioventricular valve duplication is a rare congenital cardiac anomal y. The anomaly is usually recognized as an incidental finding at autop sy, open heart surgery, or two-dimensional echocardiography. In this a rticle we present the transthoracic and transesophageal presentation o f a case of mitral and a case of tricuspid valve duplication. The hemo dynamic consideration of the lesions is discussed with a review of the literature.
