چکیده
A subaortic membrane predisposes to bacterial endocarditis usually affecting the aortic valve and left ventricular outflow tract. Endocarditis involving the subaortic membrane itself has been described twice only; once at operation and once at postmortem. The case of a man with vegetations involving a subaortic membrane that were detected preoperatively and the echocardiographic appearances of these findings are reported.

Although there have been a very few reports of its occurrence in this disorder,1 2 these patients represent only a small fraction of those patients diagnosed as having this entity.3 A patient has recently been seen with bacterial endocarditis, who during...

A discrete subaortic membrane is a rare cause of subaortic stenosis in adults. It may present in an isolated form as a fibrous or fibromuscular ring below the aortic valve. A 24 year-old male patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic with dyspnoea and palpitations. His physical examination was unremarkable except for an aortic 3/6 systolic murmur. Electrocardiography revealed normal sinus r...

We herein report a rare case of subaortic stenosis in association with a previous tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) surgical repair, which was not taken into account as a differential diagnosis. Echocardiography plays a pivotal role in identification of this rare combination. Therefore, echocardiography should be performed periodically during follow-up of patients with surgically corrected TOF. Given t...
