Accessory flaplike tissue causing ventricular outflow obstruction

AS Gomes, PH Nath, A Singh, RV Lucas Jr, K Amplatz, DM Nicoloff and JE Edwards

In three cases, two in children and one in a young adult, ventricular outflow obstruction was caused by a valvelike flap of accessory endocardial tissue. The angiocardiographic feature was that of a narrow radiolucent, crescent-shaped or linear filling defect corresponding to the site of obstruction. Resection of the accessory tissue was performed in each case at the time of correction of associated conditions. In one case (a woman 20 years of age) the obstructing membrane was in the outflow tract of the right ventricle, and a ventricular septal defect was associated. In each of the other two cases the outflow tract of the left ventricle was the site of obstruction. In one (a 14-month-old boy), an ostium primum type of atrial septal defect and cleft mitral valve were associated; in the remaining case (a 7-year-old boy) complete transposition and ventricular septal defect were also present. In the latter case a Mustard procedure was performed and was followed by death. Successful results were obtained in the first two patients.
