AbstractThe case of a 56-year-old man who underwent mitral valve replacement due to HOCM complicated by IE and MR is reported. Preoperative 2D echocardiographic assessment of the mitral valve revealed systole anterior motion (SAM) and vegetation, and color flow Doppler echocardiographic examination revealed severe mitral regurgitation. The left ventricular out-flow tract gradient decreased from 140 mmHg preoperatively to 60 mmHg postoperatively. Mitral valve replacement should be considered in patients with associated IE and severe MR.
