Severe supravalvular aortic stenosis: successful surgical correction by extended aortoplasty

Ann Thorac Surg. 1982 Dec;34(6):698-701. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(10)60912-5.

Abstract

Surgical treatment of severe discrete supravalvular aortic stenosis by placement of a patch graft across the narrowed area of aorta at one point has been associated with a substantial incidence of residual stenosis. Successful relief of a severe stenosis was achieved by a modification of a previously reported technique in which the stenotic area is expanded at two points. Use of this technique should be considered in cases of severe discrete supravalvular aortic stenosis.
