Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in children is classified according to the site of the obstruction into a supra-aortic type, valvular type, and subaortic type (subaortic stenosis). Subaortic stenosis, in turn, is classified into two major subtypes, i.e., a discrete type, which accounts for most cases and a tunnel type, and one minor subtype, the accessory mitral tissue type, which is rare. Systolic anterior motion (SAM) is a phenomenon that is commonly observed in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We report a rare case of subaortic stenosis associated with SAM, which was caused by cleft anterior mitral leaflet and an accessory papillary muscle. Surgical treatment was successful, and there were no complications.
