AbstractPapillary muscle anomaly with a muscular chord directly attached to the anterior mitral leaflet is a rare mitral valve disease. A 62-year-old man with systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral leaflet and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy presented to surgical intervention after unsuccessful transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy with alcohol. Intraoperative findings revealed a primarily not detected anomalous muscular mitral chord (0.8 × 2.2 cm) connecting the base of the A1 segment to the anterolateral papillary muscle. Resection of this chord and additional septal myectomy treated systolic anterior motion and obstruction of the outflow tract. In spite of the infrequent occurrence, anomalies of the subvalvular apparatus, such as muscular chords, should be ruled out by thorough transesophageal echocardiography imaging before decision on the therapeutical strategy.

The haemodynamic response to the beach-chair position may be affected by the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy where remodelling of cardiac chambers can potentially lead to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We present a case report of severe hypotension in the beach-chair position, where focused cardiac ultrasound identified left ventricular hypertrophy and geometric features that contributed to the hypotensive response. This case illustrates that focused cardiac ultrasound has the potential to alert the clinician preoperatively to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction susceptibility during surgery in the beach-chair position, and intraoperatively to direct management should sudden decreases in blood pressure occur.
