A rare case of systolic anterior motion (SAM) after mitral valve repair is described. A temporary postoperative left ventricular (LV) dysfunction protected against this complication during the early postoperative period. Only on day 9 postoperatively did the left ventricle recover and SAM develop, with significant obstruction of the LV outflow tract. Subsequently, mitral valve replacement was required. This case demonstrates the importance of the LV geometrical relationships that predispose to this complication.

D008944 Mitral Valve Insufficiency Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation.

D008945 Mitral Valve Prolapse Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of MITRAL VALVE into the LEFT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS; or CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA.
