Résumé
We admitted a 76-year-old woman for treatment of an ascending aortic aneurysm with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve. Echocardiography showed an elevated velocity of the LVOT flow with a sigmoid septum. Mild mitral regurgitation was also detected due to SAM. We performed a graft replacement of the ascending aorta, after which the LVOT obstruction and SAM were resolved. We report a case in which the traction of a graft likely released the compression on the aortic root and ventricular septum.
