Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We describe a case of severely calcified posterior mitral annulus associated with grade IV mitral regurgitation in addition to significant hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. A 70-year-old woman underwent successfully annular reconstruction with anterior mitral leaflet flip-over and mitral valve replacement with a bileaflet mechanical prosthesis combined with left ventricular septal myectomy. This technique can serve not only to cover the debrided posterior annulus, but also to eliminate left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and to keep left ventricular function by virtue of not severing ventricular-annular continuity.
