Abstract

A 72-year-old female was found to have symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy associated with significant aortic stenosis. She was found to have severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, asymmetric septal hypertrophy, significant systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral valve leaflet, and mitral regurgitation. She was also found to have moderate aortic stenosis that made the obstruction even worse which made the patient progressively symptomatic not responding to medical therapy. She eventually underwent cardiac surgery in form of left ventricular septal myomectomy and bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement (tissue AVR) with a size 23 tissue valve, aortic root enlargement with bovine pericardial patch. She is currently stable on optimal medical therapy, feels much better and stable cardiac-wise with much better quality of life.
