Why the study?
Does cross-sectional echocardiography accurately measure the diameter and extent of obstruction compared to cineangiography in patients with supravalvular aortic stenosis?
Population
5 patients with supravalvular aortic stenosis (four hourglass and one hypoplastic)

May support noninvasive echo assessment in supravalvular aortic stenosis; leaves open prospective validation.
Does cross-sectional echocardiography accurately measure the diameter and extent of obstruction compared to cineangiography in patients with supravalvular aortic stenosis?
Cross-sectional echocardiography is a valuable noninvasive method for evaluating the ascending aorta in patients with supravalvular aortic stenosis, showing close agreement with invasive cineangiography.
Weyman et al. (1978) studied this question.
