Discrete subaortic stenosis in an adult patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Discrete subaortic stenosis is an unusual cause of the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in the adults and characterized by a discrete subaortic membrane. A 52-year-old female patient presented with chief complaints of progressive dyspnoea, chest pain and fatigue. Echocardiographic study showed a discrete fibromembranous ridge located in the subaortic region, which resulted in severe subaortic stenosis, with a mild aortic regurgitation and a mean gradient of 65 mmHg. She underwent surgical resection of the subaortic membrane without any complications. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged from hospital on the 7 postoperative day. At one-year postoperative follow-up, the patient was doing well without recurrence on echocardiogram. A close follow-up is mandatory for a possible recurrence despite sufficient surgical resection.

Surgical outcome of discrete subaortic stenosis in adults: a multicenter study.
BACKGROUND Discrete subaortic stenosis is notable for its unpredictable hemodynamic progression in childhood and high reoperation rate; however, data about adulthood are scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS Adult patients who previously underwent surgery for discrete subaortic stenosis were included in this retrospective multicenter cohort study. Mixed-effects and joint models were used to assess the ...
متن کاملA case of successful valve repair for aortic insufficiency associated with discrete subaortic stenosis.
Discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS) is an uncommon form of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction especially in adulthood. Moreover, aortic regurgitation (AR), which is a common sequence of DSS, requiring surgical correction is extremely rare. We report the case of a 33-year old man who had severe DSS accompanied with moderate aortic insufficiency. He underwent successful surgery including re...
متن کاملProgressive discrete subaortic stenosis developed after successful primary repair of the supravalvular aortic stenosis in Williams syndrome.
Discrete subaortic stenosis is a rare, late complication of the surgical repair of congenital heart defects. Secondary subaortic stenosis late after surgical repair of supravalvular aortic stenosis in Williams syndrome has not previously been described. A 20 year-old female patient with Williams syndrome became symptomatic eight years after subaortic membrane resection. A discrete subaortic ste...
متن کامل[Subaortic stenosis more than twenty years after surgical repair of a partial atrial septal defect in an adult].
Subaortic stenosis after surgical correction of a partial atrioventricular septal defect is uncommon. When it occurs, it is usually diagnosed 6-8 years after early surgical repair in childhood. We present a female patient who underwent mitral valve cleft repair and closure of a partial atrial septal defect with a Teflon patch at the age of 48 years. Twenty-two years later, she presented with se...

BACKGROUND Transluminal balloon tearing of the membrane in a thin discrete subaortic stenosis is an alternative to membrane surgical resection. However, the long-term outcome of patients with isolated thin discrete subaortic stenosis treated by transluminal balloon tearing remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS This 25-year study describes findings from 76 patients with isolated thin discrete s...
