On the basis of our clinical experience, we hypothesized that role mitral valvar anomalies in development and recurrence discrete subaortic stenosis might be underestimated. From January 1994 to October 2000, anatomy valve its relationship other components left ventricular outflow tract were studied by echocardiography a series 73 consecutive patients referred institution for surgical correction stenosis. In all whom it was considered advisable, anomaly performed, together with resection fibro-muscular One or more found 35 (48%). They could grouped into five categories: insertion papillary muscle aortic leaflet, wall, “muscularization” portion anomalous tissue accessory tissue. cases anatomy, feasible. It consisted transection attachment, tissue, and/or patch enlargement leaflet. The incidence associated is probably Our data suggest they should systematically searched during evaluation Their generally feasible, improve mid long term results.
