Appropriate modification of surgical technique may reduce the likelihood of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction during bioprosthetic mitral valve insertion in patients with small outflow tracts.
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction resulting from strut impingement upon the interventricular septum is a rare complication of bioprosthetic mitral valve insertion. Obstruction is more likely to develop when a small, high profile prosthetic valve is inserted into a patient with a small outflow tract. The likelihood of this complication may be reduced by appropriate modification of surgical technique.
