We describe the combination of double mitral valve orifice of the complete bridge variety, or type 1, and primary pulmonary hypertension, a previously unreported association. The complete diagnosis was established by two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography and the hemodynamics corroborated by cardiac catheterization.
