Cephalad resuspension of aortic leaflet of the mitral valve in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
A young child with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, who was reoperated on for recurrent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, underwent myectomy with patch augmentation of the ventricular septum. Cephalad resuspension of the aortic leaflet of the mitral valve resulted in abolishment of residual obstruction occurring secondary to its systolic anterior motion.
