Abstract:
Discrete subaortic stenos is one of the subtype of congenital left ventricular outflow obstruction and frequently associated with other defect such as ventricular septal defect, coarctation of the aorta, inturrupted aortic arch, double-chambered right ventricle and atrioventricular canal. It is progressive disease from the neonatal period and can be a cause of secondary endocarditis or aortic regurgitation. The authors have experienced a case of discrete subaortic stenosis without other associated lesions in 8 years old male patient who has complained chest discomfort. The diagnosis was established by the findings of echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. We report this case with a brief review of related literatures.
