Abstract
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction may be caused by abnormalit ies of the various structures comprised by the outflow tract. Hypertro phic cardiomyopathy is one of the more common causes, but many are rar e anomalies, a collection of which we have compiled. We present a case of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction mimicking aortic stenos is in an adult. This was found to be due to abnormal insertion of a hy pertrophied papillary muscle, successfully corrected by mitral valve r eplacement. (C) 1997 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
