Accessory mitral valve (AMV) is a rare cause of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and is extremely rare in adults. We report a case of an older adult with an AMV that caused severe LVOT obstruction. A parachute-like piece of tissue (the AMV) protruding into the LVOT during systole was first detected in a 45-year-old woman by echocardiography. Because the pressure gradient and dyspnea gradually progressed, she finally underwent a successful operation for removal when she was 48 years old.
副二尖瓣(AMV)是左心室流出道(LVOT)梗阻的罕见原因,在成年人中极为罕见。我们报告一例老年患者,其副二尖瓣导致严重的左心室流出道梗阻。一名45岁女性经超声心动图首次检测到一块类似降落伞的组织(副二尖瓣)在收缩期突入左心室流出道。由于压力梯度和呼吸困难逐渐加重,她最终在48岁时成功接受了切除手术。
