Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to anomalous mitral valve: successful mitral valve replacement in a four month old infant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 child is fit and active. There have been no difficulties with anticoagulant treatment.

Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to anomalous insertion of papillary muscle.
A 56-year-old man who complained of quadrantic hemianopsia was admitted to determine its etiology. Cerebral angiography revealed no organic stenosis. Echocardiography showed clear direct continuity between a hypertrophied anterolateral papillary muscle and the anterior mitral leaflet, and the left ventricular (LV) outflow tract (LVOT) was narrowed by the presence of an accessory papillary muscl...
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 کاملApical ballooning syndrome complicated by acute severe mitral regurgitation with left ventricular outflow obstruction – Case report
BACKGROUND Apical ballooning syndrome (or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) is a syndrome of transient left ventricular apical ballooning. Although first described in Japanese patients, it is now well reported in the Caucasian population. The syndrome mimicks an acute myocardial infarction but is characterised by the absence of obstructive coronary disease. We describe a serious and poorly understood c...

Certain subsets of high-risk mitral valve patients are not suitable candidates for transcatheter therapies. The objective of this report is to present a young patient with combined mitral valve and coronary artery disease to illustrate these challenges.In this report, we present a 47-year-old man with longstanding HIV infection who was referred with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and profound...
متن کاملSystolic closure of aortic valve in patients with prosthetic mitral valves.
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. The left ventricular outflow tract dimension on M-mode and two dimensional echocardiograms, left ventricular posterior wall and septal thickness, left ventricular dimensions in systole and diastole, aortic valve ...
