Accessory Mitral Valve Tissue Causing Severe Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in a Post-Senning Patient with Transposition of the Great Arteries
Accessory mitral valve tissue is a rare congenital anomaly associated with congenital cardiac defects and is usually detected in the first decade of life. We describe the case of an 18-year old post-Senning asymptomatic patient who was found to have accessory mitral valve tissue on transthoracic echocardiography producing severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
