Potential late LVOT obstruction after bioprosthetic mitral replacement with anterior leaflet preservation warrants echocardiographic vigilance; case report leaves open optimal surgical approaches.
Case Report (n=1)
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a potential late complication of bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement with anterior leaflet preservation, highlighting the importance of echocardiographic evaluation.
Patel et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (n=1). Bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement with anterior leaflet preservation was evaluated. Bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement with preservation of the anterior leaflet can cause severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, as seen in a 79-year-old woman 4 years post-surgery.
