Ann Thorac Surg. 1996 Apr;61(4):1251-3. doi: 10.1016/0003-4975(95)01065-3.

Abstract

Diffuse supravalvular aortic stenosis can be treated by a variety of surgical approaches. In this case of severe diffuse supravalvular aortic stenosis in a child, we used the combination of an apicoaortic conduit followed 6 years later by aortic valve replacement, replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic arch, and an ascending to thoracic descending aorta bypass graft.
