Two types, namely partial and complete. Important point here is that this condition is most related to Down syndrome.
Partial: Primum atrial septal defect combined with cleft mitral valve. I can't find any good source related to this, but I do find this.

Well, I can't differentiate which is what. (where the hell is the cleft mitral valve? ==) I found this from: http://www.mayoclinic.org/atrial-septal-defect/types.html
A mitral valve cleft is a slit-like or elongated hole in one of the leaflets (anterior leaflet) that form the mitral valve.
Check out some cool pictures from there ya?
Complete: Common atrioventricular canal. How about this in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_septal_defect Look at the picture there. I think it's self explanatory.
