Systolic anterior motion: an unusual cause of late mitral valve repair failure

A 50-year-old woman, who underwent mitral valve repair (MVRe) with a complete rigid mitral ring annuloplasty (Carpentier-Edwards 30; Edwards Life-sciences) 8 years ago for severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to Barlow’s disease, was apparently asymptomatic for 5 years and then started to
