Submitral aneurysm is a congenital outpouching of the left ventricular wall invariably occurring adjacent to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. It usually presents with heart failure symptoms. We report a case of a 59-year-old gentleman with a posterolateral submitral aneurysm who underwent aneurysm patch repair and mitral valve repair. Good knowledge about the interrelationship between the aneurysmal sac and mitral valve was obtained enabling proper surgical repair.
