SUPRAVALVAR AORTIC STENOSIS IN CHILDREN REPORT OF THIRTEEN CASES
Authors
Abstract:
During 15 years from 1975 to 1990, thirteen cases of supravalvar aortic stenosis were admitted at the pediatrics department of Shahid Rajai Heart Hospital, Tehran. All patients were subjected to cardiac catheterization and a angiocardiography. Patients ranged in age from 3.5 years to 14 years with a mean of 8.7 years. Seventy seven percent of childen were male. Eight cases (61.5%) had Williams' syndrome. Hourglass type of supravalvar aortic stenosis was the most common variant (70%), followed by hypoplastic type (15%) and membranous type (5%). Peripheral pulmonary stenosis was the most common associated anomaly and was observed in 23% of patients. The main purpose of this investigation is to report the results of the study on supravalvar aortic stenosis and its association with Williams' syndrome in a group of Iranian children.

AIMS Supravalvar aortic stenosis is a rare form of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction that is often progressive in childhood. Little data are available on outcomes in the adult population. Our aim was to define cardiac outcomes in adults with supravalvar aortic stenosis. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a multicentre retrospective study of cardiac outcomes in adults (≥18 years) with suprav...
full textThe surgical management of discrete and diffuse supravalvar aortic stenosis.
Between 1956 and 1976, 18 patients underwent surgery for supravar aortic stenosis at the The Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston. Discrete obstruction, present in 11, was treated by insertion of a prosthetic gusset placed across the area of narrowing and extending into the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva. There was one operative death. Residual gradients (measured in five patients) ranged ...
full textSupravalvar aortic stenosis syndrome with stenosis of all aortic arch branches.
A 9-year-old girl with the supravalvar aortic stenosis syndrome is presented. In addition to the classical features of the syndrome, namely supravalvar aortic stenosis, peripheral pulmonary stenosis, typical facies, and mental retardation, she was also found to have stenosis at the origin of all aortic arch main branches, a hitherto undescribed feature.
