Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after mitral valve replacement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a patient with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after mitral valve replacement preserving the anterior subvalvular apparatus. Postoperative transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated systolic narrowing of the left ventricular outflow tract by a bulging septum and systolic anterior motion of the preserved anterior mitral leaflet. Septal myectomy and transaortic mitral apparatus resection enabled us to relieve the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. This suggests that septal hypertrophy might be a relative contraindication to the preservation of the anterior mitral subvalvular apparatus in mitral replacement.

Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to anomalous mitral valve: successful mitral valve replacement in a four month old infant.
A four month old infant was investigated for heart failure was found to have mitral incompetence and severe subvalvar aortic stenosis. The left ventricular outflow tract obstruction was found to be due to an anatomically anomalous mitral valve. The obstruction could only be relieved by removal of the mitral valve and its replacement with a St Jude's prosthesis. Two years after operation the chi...

We describe two cases of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after mitral valve replacement with complete retention of the subvalvular apparatus. The first patient deteriorated immediately after insertion of a high-profile bioprosthesis. In the second patient, chronic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction developed after the insertion of a low-profile mechanical prosthesis. The clin...

Systolic closure of the aortic valve was found in 10 of 36 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement. Eight patients had early systolic closure, and two had mid-systolic closure.

متن کاملLate left ventricular outflow tract obstruction following mitral valve replacement.
A 66-year old male presented with presyncope 14 years following mechanical mitral valve replacement. Echocardiography demonstrated the remainder of an elongated anterior mitral valve leaflet (AMVL) with systolic anterior motion obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract (Fig. 1 and Supplementary Video 1). Owing to previous intracranial bleeding, the completion of AMVL resection was performe...
متن کاملSevere volume depletion leading to mitral insufficiency.
We report a patient with profound hypovolemia who developed dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and severe mitral regurgitation. Both the outflow tract obstruction and mitral regurgitation resolved with volume replacement. Unlike previous reports of dynamic left ventricular outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation, the degree of mitral regurgitation was severe. Possible mecha...
