Minimally Invasive Surgical Repair of a Partial Atrioventricular Canal Defect in a 20-Year-Old Patient-A Case Report and Review of Literature.

The association of an ostium primum-type defect with a cleft anterior mitral valve is known in the medical literature as the partial form of an atrioventricular canal. We present a case report about a 20-year-old woman with minimal symptomatology that discovered her pathology on routine echocardiography. Today, surgical operation remains the gold standard in such pathologies, especially mandatory when there is important valvular regurgitation and left-to-right shunt. Currently living in the era of fast and good cosmetic outcomes, minimally invasive and endovascular approaches should be developed and more often practiced. This scientific presentation is the first step in showing our department steps in performing minimally invasive surgeries as a routine.
