Key result
Congenital multilevel left ventricular outflow obstruction was diagnosed and surgically corrected in a 23-year-old female who had remained undiagnosed throughout childhood.
This case report highlights the late presentation and surgical correction of congenital multilevel left ventricular outflow obstruction in an adult.
Successful late surgical correction of undiagnosed multilevel LVOT obstruction is feasible in adults; leaves optimal screening and outcomes open.
Congenital left ventricular outflow obstruction malformations are a group of left-sided stenotic lesions that can occur individually or in various combinations at subvalvular, valvular, and supravalvular levels. We present the case of a 23-year-old female who presented with multilevel obstructions not having been diagnosed in childhood. She subsequently underwent surgical correction.
