Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases diagnosed
in children and adults [
[1]
]. Interventional closure devices or surgical patch closure are potential treatment
options in haemodynamically relevant ASD. Concomitant severe mitral valve regurgitation
is impeded by persisting type I ASD, as a congenital partial endocardial cushion defect
(PECD) might be present. Partial endocardial cushion defect is a rare form of congenital
