Abstract
We describe a patient with a left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after mitral valve repair. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography permitted us to recognize the role of a bulging septum in the development of a systolic motion of the mitral valve. A left ventricular septal myectomy and myotomy was able to relieve the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and the systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve.
