Edge-to-edge repair of the systolic anterior motion of mitral valve and cardiac myectomy of the abnormally positioned papillary muscles in an infant with COL4A1 mutation

Surgical treatment is challenging in pediatric patients with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) stenosis (LVOTS). We herein present the case of a 2-year-old male patient with porencephaly who was diagnosed with LVOTS accompanied by moderate mitral valve regurgitation (MR) with systolic anterior motion (SAM). Edge-to-edge mitral valve reconstruction and myectomy of the abnormal cardiac muscle were performed, with an uneventful postoperative course. LVOT myectomy and edge-to-edge mitral valve repair may be considered as a safe and acceptable approach with good clinical outcomes in pediatric patients with LVOTS accompanied by MR with SAM.
