AI Article Synopsis
- * Researchers identified LVOTO events through echocardiography and observed that 13.7% of patients who had a primary aortoplasty developed LVOTO, with higher rates in those with certain conditions like a bicuspid valve or subaortic ridge.
- * The findings suggest that having multiple risk factors significantly increases the likelihood of needing further surgical intervention for LVOTO in patients with IAA/CoA.
Article Abstract
Background: Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) re-intervention is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) or interrupted aortic arch (IAA) after aortoplasty.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from neonates with IAA/CoA who underwent biventricular repair between 2012 and 2022. LVOTO events were defined by the detection of color Doppler flow acceleration ≥3.0 m/s at the valvular, subvalvular, or supravalvular regions via transthoracic echocardiography, and the necessity for surgical or catheter intervention to relieve the obstruction.
Results: Among 121 neonates with CoA/IAA, 16 (13.7%) primary aortoplasty patients developed LVOTO. Additionally, one patient (25%) who underwent a staged Yasui operation developed LVOTO due to a narrowed ventricular septal defect-pulmonary atresia tunnel. During follow-up, 58% of patients with a bicuspid valve and 25% of patients with a subaortic ridge developed LVOTO. The combination of either a bicuspid valve, subaortic ridge, or an aortic valve annulus Z-score < -3.0 predicted a high re-intervention rate (7/8 [87.5%]).
Conclusions: In patients with IAA/CoA, the presence of multiple risk factors, including a bicuspid valve, subaortic ridge, and an aortic valve annulus Z-score < -3.0, is associated with a significantly increased rate of re-intervention for LVOTO.

Article Synopsis
- Tricuspid atresia (TA) is a heart condition affecting infants and is the second most common type of functionally univentricular heart, with rare cases of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in patients who have normally related great arteries.
- A study involving 445 patients with Type I TA showed that 3% of infants needed interventions for LVOTO, and most of those who underwent surgical procedures had promising outcomes.
- The long-term survival rate for these infants was estimated at 79% over 20 years, indicating that timely surgical management can lead to successful interventions and good heart function later in life.
Evaluation of potential links between phenotypic features and genetic variants in left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.

This study aimed to identify the phenotypic features contributing to the development of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and to evaluate the genotype‒phenotype relationship. This cross-sectional study included 96 patients diagnosed with HCM (mean age: 56.9 ± 13.

Pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has a wide range of clinical manifestations. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) at rest is present in up to one-third of children with HCM, with a further 50-60% of symptomatic children developing a gradient under exertion. Treatment options are limited, and there is a relative lack of data on the pediatric population.

An 83-year-old woman was admitted to our center because of heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe mitral annular calcification resulting in a double mitral valve lesion. After discussion by the heart team, transcatheter mitral valve replacement with Tendyne (Abbott Structural, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was performed.
