Aneurysm of the membranous ventricular septum and accessory valvular tissue causing obstruction of the pulmonary outflow tract in corrected transposition.
Aneurysm of the membranous portion of the ventricular septum and accessory valvular tissue are two infrequent congenital lesions. This case illustrates a rare association of aneurysm of the membranous septum and accessory valvular tissue originating from the mitral valve, causing right-sided ventricular outflow tract obstruction in a patient with corrected transposition. Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography allowed for determination of the dual nature of the obstruction.
