The association of a secundum atrial septal defect and mitral insufficiency is not uncommon. Five patients with this combination of lesions are presented and the pathological anatomy of the mitral valve is discussed. All 5 patients demonstrated a similar cleft mitral valve; 2 had cleft valves when only mitral valve prolapse was suspected preoperatively. The surgical implication of these lesions is discussed.
