We have experienced a surgical correction of ECD of a 64-year-old female patient. The preoperative left ventriculogram showed typical goose-neck deformity of the left ventricle and mild mitral regurgitation. The correction consisted of repair of the mitral cleft, and patch closure of the ostium primum. Postoperative course was uneventful. The operation of ECD should be recommended even in an older patient.
