Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT) and Aortic Stenosis (AS)

What you will learn

The left ventricular outflow-tract is an essential structure in congenital heart defects. In this chapter, we will cover subaortic stenosis, congenital valvular aortic stenosis and supravalvular aortic stenosis. We show you how to image bicuspid valves and which variations you might encounter. We also talk about the grading of defects and which additional defects you can expect.

Topics:

• Subaortic stenosis
• Bicuspid aortic valves - Functional vs true bicuspid valve
• Location of raphe, supravalvular aortic stenosis
• Associated lesions
