A 12monthoid neutered male golden retriever was presented with a history of lethargy and exercise intolerance. Clinical examination, electrocardiography, radiography and echocardiography supported a diagnosis of fixed subvalvular aortic stenosis with a Doppler pressure gradient of 77.5 mmHg. Surgical inspection also revealed gross structural abnormalities of the mitral valve consistent with mitral dyspiasia. intervention consisted of resection of the dysplastic mitral valve and the subvalvular aortic stenosis. The mitral valve was replaced with a bioprosthetic valve. Total cardiopulmonary bypass time was 65 minutes and aortic crossclamp time was 55 minutes. A full recovery was made and 11 months postoperatively the aortic transvalvular gradient was 30 mmHg. At the time of writing, 12 months after surgery, the dog was clinically normal and requires no medication.
