ABSTRACT
Systolic anterior motion of mitral valve ( SAM) is a relatively uncommon complication , but it can result in se-vere left ventricular outflow tract(LVOT) obstruction and/or mitral regurgitation(MR), even can be life-threating.Echocardio-graphy is still the first-line method of SAM diagnosis.Due to LVOT obstruction and MR reducing the long-term prognosis of pa-tients with SAM, it is necessary to carry out surgical treatment for patients with SAM for whom conservative treatment are not ef-fective.Then mitral valve repair(MVREP) is the first choice.Besides, surgical techniques for treatment and prevention of SAM have made great progress which have promoted the popularization of MVREP , and the rate of MVREP in mitral valve oper-ation has been greatly improved .
