Application of successive principles of repair to correct supravalvular aortic stenosis

Ann Thorac Surg. 1999 Apr;67(4):1167-9. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(99)00054-5.

Abstract

The diffuse form of supravalvular aortic stenosis may extend in the takeoff of the coronary and arch arteries. Relief of the supravalvular stenosis requires a harmonious enlargement of the sinotubular junction to maintain aortic valve competence. The technique we used in a 9-year-old boy involved patch enlargement of all affected structures. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion was used during repair of the aortic arch and arch arteries.
