Abstract
Amitral valve tissue is a rare congenital cardiac malformation and an uncommon cause of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. To our knowledge, there are about 50 reported cases in the medical literature, most of them diagnosed during childhood in association with other congenital heart defects. In the adult patient, accessory mitral valve is an uncommon feature. We report the case of a 43-year-old man, referred for operation on a subaortic membranous stenosis diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), in whom an obstructive accessory mitral valve was identified during the surgical procedure.
