Supravalvular aortic stenosis is the rarest form of congenital left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. It can be associated with Williams syndrome or it may be an isolated anomaly. Although infective endocarditis is common in valvular aortic stenosis, in supravalvular aortic stenosis infective e...
Pathogenic germline mutations in ELN can be detected in patients with supravalvular aortic stenosis. The mutation might occur de novo or be inherited following an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. In this report we describe a three-generation family suffering from supravalvular aortic steno...

Objectives

The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence and anatomic characteristics of coronary artery lesions and their associated postoperative risk in patients undergoing supravalvular aortic stenosis repair.

Methods

The association between structural risk factors, postope...
A 20 year old female was referred to us for evaluation of effort dyspnoea of NYHA class II with feeble left common carotid, left brachial and left radial artery as compared to other sides. Detail evaluation with two dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiographic, 2D transesophageal echocardiograph...
This case report describes the clinical presentation, the necropsy findings, and genetic results of a 13-year-old Warmblood mare presented with colic and a bilaterally loud, holosystolic murmur. Echocardiographic examination revealed the presence of a thoracic aortic aneurysm, an aortic pseudoaneury...

Introduction

Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is an uncommon congenital abnormality that presents with intimal thickening of the aortic media at the sinotubular junction. Given the congenital nature of the disease, patients usually become symptomatic in childhood.

Presentation of case...

Background: Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is a rare congenital heart disease affecting approximately 1 in 25,000 live births. In some patients it is accompanied by pulmonary artery stenosis, particularly of pulmonary artery branches. Chronic stenosis can lead to cardiac hypertrophy and...

Background

Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is one of the congenital cardiovascular diseases characterized by stenosis of the aorta. The stenotic lesions occur anywhere above the aortic valve in the aortic tree as well as pulmonary arteries and eventually leads to circulatory failure. Th...

Background

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by extreme elevations in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and premature cardiovascular disease.

Objectives

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence, clinical p...
Obstructive arterial diseases, including supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS), atherosclerosis, and restenosis, share 2 important features: an abnormal or disrupted elastic lamellae structure and excessive smooth muscle cells (SMCs). However, the relationship between these pathological features is p...
