Echocardiography Diagnosis of a Stenotic Double Orifice Parachute Mitral Valve with a Single Papillary Muscle

We present the case of a patient with a single papillary muscle that is supporting both orifices of a stenotic double orifice mitral valve. With the use of both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, we were able to prospectively define this entity, which was confirmed at surgery.
