Deskripsi
A 69-year-old male presented to the emergency room with dyspnea on exertion lasting more than 2 weeks. Echocardiography showed an ill-defined subaortic structure. Subsequent transesophageal echocardiography revealed a parachute-like structure prolapsing into the left ventricular outflow tract causing subvalvular aortic obstruction. Surgical excision confirmed this structure as an accessory anterior mitral leaflet. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
