We report a case of a 42-year-old man with a submitral aneurysm who presented to the emergency room in circulatory collapse, with left ventricular obstruction and severe mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation secondary to the aneurysm. Resection of the aneurysm and mitral valve replacement were performed through a median sternotomy without any complication and with good results.

Submitral aneurysm is a challenging and uncommon cardiac disease that is uniquely related to the posterior mitral valve leaflet. Awareness and prompt identification are vital because of the strong predilection for sudden fatal complications. Techniques and timing of surgical procedures are not standardized, especially in incidentally detected cases.

Background: Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by a large vessel vasculitis involving the aorta and its branches. Myocardial involvement is extremely unusual in TA and is mostly in the form of myocarditis, ventricular hypertrophy, and ventricular dysfunction secondary to coronary ischemia. Submitral aneurysms have been reported in TA and has been attributed to the chronic inflammatory process in TA.

A sub-mitral left ventricular aneurysm is a rare condition. It is a congenital outpouching of the left ventricular wall, invariably occurring adjacent to the posterior mitral leaflet. Sub-mitral aneurysm (SMA) has usually been reported as a consequence of myocardial ischemia (MI), rheumatic heart disease, tuberculosis, and infective endocarditis.
