چکیده

A ten-year-old girl with severe subaortic stenosis was found to have relatively mature valvular endocardial cushion tissue (fibromyxomatous sheets with a chorda tendinea attached to a left ventricular papillary muscle) immediately beneath the aortic valve. This structure behaved like a valve mechanism, obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract during ventricular systole. This anomaly is an extreme on the spectrum of obstructive endocardial cushion malformations.

Increased Mitral-Aortic Separation

We recently speculated that mitral-aortic separation (MAS) might be increased in discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS). We have examined this hypothesis in 22 heart specimens in which the subaortic obstruction originated on the muscular ventricular septum below the right aortic sinus, either as a discrete band, an accumulation of several bands or a diffuse ridge, and extended posteriorly into the M...

Hypertrophic Subaortic Stenosis

were assessed by echocardiographic recordings in 51 studies conducted on 37 patients with hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. The incidence and severity of echocardiographic findings in 19 patients treated with propranolol and in 18 not so treated showed no significant differences. Likewise these findings were unaltered by administration of propranolol in 12 patients who were studied both while th...

[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...

Membranous subaortic stenosis complicated by aneurysm of the membranous septum and mitral valve prolapse.

The clinical, echocardiographic, and catheterization findings in a patient with discrete subaortic stenosis, aneurysm of the membranous interventricular septum, and mitral valve prolapse are presented. Echocardiography showed a subaortic membrane, abnormal aortic valve motion, accentuated systolic anterior motion of the membranous interventricular septum, and prolapsing mitral leaflets. Cardiac...

Echocardiography in combined discrete and hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.

A 10-year-old boy with discrete subaortic stenosis had coexisting abnormal systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve, demonstrated by echocardiography, a sign normally taken as indicating the presence of idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. Surgical removal of a fibromuscular diaphragm abolished the echocardiographic signs of discrete subaortic stenosis but abnormal systolic anterior ...
