Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve,
severe aortic regurgitation, moderate aortic stenosis, dilation
of the ascending aorta (51 mm), and severe mitral valve
regurgitation secondary to the rupture of the chordae of the
posterior mitral leafl et owing to the prolapse of the mitral
valve.
Comment
The patient was referred for the Bentall operation and mitral
valve replacement or repair following work-up for infective
endocarditis.
Lesson
The bicuspid aortic valve is sometimes associated with the
mitral valve prolapse [ 2 ].

A young man with a history of palpitation and two episodes
of syncopal attacks and a systolic murmur (grade IV/VI) in
the aortic area was referred to our echocardiography laboratory for an evaluation of the cardiac cause of the syncopal
attacks. Echocardiography revealed normal left and right
ventricular sizes and systolic functions as well as concentric
left ventricular hypertrophy.

Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with mild valvular and severe
supravalvular aortic stenosis with severe obstruction, as well
as a bicuspid aortic valve, mild aortic regurgitation, and dilation of the ascending aorta (up to 42 mm); this is the more
common form of supravalvular aortic stenosis (hourglass
form with dilation of the ascending aorta) [ 87 ].
Comment
Surgery was recommended for the patient. The use of the Y
patch, resection with end-to-end anastomosis, and the Ross
procedure are the main techniques employed with valvuloplasty [ 2 , 118 , 119 ].

A 13-year-old boy presented with frequent episodes of
syncopal attacks. Physical examination showed a systolic
ejection murmur (grade IV/VI) in the aortic area with radiation into the jugular notch and along the carotid vessels. An
ejection click was not heard, and the blood pressure was
120/80 mmHg in the left arm and 140/80 mmHg in the right
arm. The patient had regular but unequal upper extremity
pulses with prominence in the right upper extremity. He was
referred to us for an evaluation of the cardiac cause of the
syncopal attacks. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a
relatively small left ventricular cavity and a normal systolic
function as well as concentric left ventricular hypertrophy.

Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with the tubular type of supravalvular aortic stenosis with severe obstruction and dynamic
left ventricular outfl ow tract obstruction [ 87 ].
Comment
There was no membrane in the subvalvular area of the aortic
valve; consequently, the 45-mmHg gradient in the left ventricular outfl ow tract was most probably due to the small left
ventricular cavity and left ventricular hypertrophy. Given
the patient’s signifi cant supravalvular aortic stenosis and
several episodes of syncopal attacks, surgery was recommended for supravalvular aortic stenosis (with subaortic
resection).

Lesson
1. The diagnosis of supravalvular aortic stenosis is made
when there is a gradient across the aorta. In our patient,
however, the aortic valve opening seemed normal or inconsistent with the degree of stenosis. Moreover, the ratio of
the ST junction to the aortic annulus was less than 1 [ 2 ].
2. In patients with supravalvular aortic stenosis, the coronary arteries are subjected to a high pressure and
dilated. Nevertheless, the long-term effect of this
pressure overload is unclear, although the coronary
artery perfusion is mostly a diastolic phenomenon
[ 87 , 118 ].
3. In rare tubular form, ascending, arch, and descending
aorta are hypoplastic [ 87 ].
Supravalvular aortic stenosis is associated with the elastin
gene abnormality on chromosome 7 [ 87 ].
