In their case series on outcomes of submitral aneurysm (SMA), Aggarwal et al. provide one of the largest known characterizations and follow ‐ up studies of this infrequently reported pathology. 1 We commend the authors for offering this unique case series and believe it will generate further dialog on the topic. The series details the presentation, etiologies, and outcomes for 10 patients presenting with SMA at a single center. Chiefly, this series demonstrates the need for urgent surgical repair to improve mitral regurgitation and overall prognosis.
