Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the long-term results of subaortic stenosis
relief and the risk factors associated with recurrence and reoperation. Methods: One …

Objectives. We sought to determine whether early resection can improve outcome in fixed
subaortic stenosis. Background. The diagnosis of subaortic stenosis (SAS) is often made …

Background Although membranectomy, with or without septal myotomy or myectomy, has
been the accepted method for treatment of fixed subaortic stenosis, controversies remain …

Subaortic stenosis (SAS) is a wide spectrum of anatomical dearrangements ranging from a
discrete fibrous membrane to tortuous fibrous tunnel with or without aortic annulus …

Objectives: Discrete subaortic stenosis causes left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT)
obstruction and often produces aortic regurgitation (AR) which alone may precipitate …

Objective: The term “subaortic stenosis” includes a variety of obstructions of the left
ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), ranging from a short (discrete) subvalvular membrane to …

OBJECTIVE: Substantial controversy persists regarding the need and efficacy of a routine
myectomy in the treatment of discrete subaortic stenosis. Although some believe myectomy …

Objective: To determine the anatomic variables in the left ventricular outflow tract in patients
with subaortic stenosis. Methods: Between 1982 and 1996, 36 patients were operated on …

Discrete subaortic stenosis typically appears as a well-defined membrane beneath the aortic
valve. To assess the merits of alternative approaches to this problem, we have reviewed the …

Although recommended by several investigators, the benefit of early surgery in patients with
fixed subaortic stenosis has not been proved. Findings were reviewed of 57 patients with …
