• Adult

Discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS) is uncommon in adults after surgical correction of congenital heart defects. There are only a few published reports on the occurrence of DSS in adults. We present an adult case with DSS after repair of a ventricular septal defect (VSD). The case was a 44-year old female patient who underwent VSD closure at 7 years of age. Thirty-seven years later, she presented with congestive heart failure associated with severe subaortic membranous stenosis and atrial fibrillation (AF) that required surgical repair. We report successful surgical treatment of this adult patient with DSS and AF 37 years after repair of a VSD.
