Abstract
A 52-year-old man following surgery for Ebstein's anomaly after repair developed acute hemodynamically significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and severe mitral regurgitation. Fluid resuscitation and weaning of inotropes were unsuccessful. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and mitral regurgitation resolved by using esmolol. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
