Key result
Surgical subaortic membrane resection with tricuspid repair achieves 1-year symptom resolution in pediatric severe subaortic stenosis.
Why the study?
Subaortic stenosis is rarely seen in infancy and only a few pediatric cases have been reported, prompting this evaluation of successful treatment for severe subaortic stenosis with left ventricular dysfunction in children.
Case Report (n=1)
Surgical subaortic membrane resection with tricuspid repair successfully treated severe subaortic stenosis and LV dysfunction in an 8-year-old boy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice in pediatric subaortic stenosis; leaves open need for controlled studies.
Karyani et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Severe subaortic stenosis with left ventricular dysfunction (n=1). Medical treatment and surgical subaortic membrane resection with tricuspid repair was evaluated on Clinical stability and symptom resolution. Medical treatment and surgical subaortic membrane resection with tricuspid repair successfully treated severe subaortic stenosis in an 8-year-old boy, leaving him symptom-free at 1 year.
