We report a 3-year-old girl with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after repair of ostium primum defect. The girl had closure of an ostium primum defect performed at the age of 1 year. Two years later, she developed left ventricular hypertrophy with systolic ejection murmur. Echocardiography showed discrete stenosis of the left ventricular outflow tract. Cardiac catheterization showed a peak systolic gradient of 63 mmHg across the left ventricular outflow tract. At the reoperation, the fibrous tissue was excised and myectomy was done. After the operation the peak systolic gradient across the left ventricular outflow tract disappeared. Since there is a possibility of occurrence of the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after repair of atrioventricular septal defect, long term follow up is mandatory.

D004694 Endocardial Cushion Defects A spectrum of septal defects involving the ATRIAL SEPTUM; VENTRICULAR SEPTUM; and the atrioventricular valves (TRICUSPID VALVE; BICUSPID VALVE). These defects are due to incomplete growth and fusion of the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS which are important in the formation of two atrioventricular canals, site of future atrioventricular valves.
