Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to an aneurysm of the membranous septum in a patient with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septum defect - case report

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon
G Di BenedettoA D Pacifico

Abstract

Although the occurrence of subpulmonary stenosis resulting from displacement of an aneurysm of the membranous septum is well known, resultant subaortic stenosis has not been well documented. We present an unusual case of acquired pulmonary atresia with restrictive ventricular septal defect and associated severe subaortic resulting from an aneurysm of the membranous septum.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
