  • Title: Accessory mitral valve tissue causing left ventricular outflow obstruction (two-dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis and surgical approach).
    Author: Ascuitto RJ, Ross-Ascuitto NT, Kopf GS, Kleinman CS, Talner NS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1986 Nov; 42(5):581-4. PubMed ID: 3778009.
    Abstract:
    Accessory mitral valve tissue, a rare cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, can be difficult to diagnose preoperatively and confusing even at surgery. The reported case illustrates how preoperative evaluation can be made using two-dimensional echocardiography combined with Doppler flow analysis. The intraoperative technique for removing the accessory tissue without causing damage to the native mitral valve is discussed.
