Abstract
Although acquired left ventricular outflow obstruction has been reported in a variety of conditions, there are scant reports of its occurrence following mitral valve replacement (MVR). This study describes two female patients, who developed severe discrete subaortic stenosis, five years following MVR. In both cases, the mitral valve was replaced by a porcine Carpentier-Edwards 27-mm bioprosthesis with preservation of mitral valve leaflets. The risk of very late left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after bio-prosthetic MVR with preservation of subvalvular apparatus needs to be kept in mind in symptomatic patients.
