| Popis: |
Fixed subaortic stenosis, commonly associated with other congenital cardiac defects, is the cause of 10 per cent of cases of congenital obstruction of the left ventricular outflow. Corrective surgery is frequently a successful treatment, recommendations being based on the transaortic gradient in Europe while in the USA the most prevalent opinion is surgical repair independently of the gradient. We present a case of adult clinical onset of a fixed subaortic stenosis during pregnancy, in which hemodynamic changes are significant, that was medically treated and followed in the outpatient clinic of our hospital, and review the state of the art of the management and surgical indications of this condition. |
