Systolic Anterior Motion of the Mitral Valve after Mitral Valve Repair: A Method of Prevention
AUTOR(ES)
Sternik, Leonid
RESUMO
Factors predisposing patients to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve (SAM) with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction after mitral valve repair are the presence of a myxomatous mitral valve with redundant leaflets, a nondilated hyperdynamic left ventricle, and a short distance between the mitral valve coaptation point and the ventricular septum after repair.
