Abstract:
We herein report a rare case of double outlet right ventricle repair complicated by repeated systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperatively. Even in patients without obvious preoperative left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, systolic anterior motion and mitral regurgitation may still occur from functional factors, such as intraoperative or postoperative inotropic drug use, tachycardia, or intraventricular volume loss in patients with severe ventricular septal hypertrophy and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
