Key result
A female patient developed severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with a gradient of 72 mmHg 8 years after mechanical mitral valve replacement due to multiple anatomical factors.
Why the study?
LVOT obstruction is a rare complication of mitral valve surgery where concomitant factors can cause significant clinical deterioration requiring urgent intervention.

Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case of late, multifactorial left ventricular outflow tract obstruction occurring 8 years after mechanical mitral valve replacement.
Jones et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction post mitral valve surgery (n=1). Mechanical mitral valve replacement was evaluated on Left ventricular outflow tract gradient. A female patient developed severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with a gradient of 72 mmHg 8 years after mechanical mitral valve replacement due to multiple anatomical factors.
