This study demonstrates a modified patch plasty technique effectively treats diffuse supravalvular aortic stenosis. The procedure significantly reduced the pressure gradient in a patient with complex aortic stenosis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Devices & Technology
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

  • Diffuse supravalvular aortic stenosis presents a complex surgical challenge.
  • Previous operations may not fully address diffuse disease extending to the aortic arch.
  • A 36-year-old female presented with severe stenosis (92 mmHg gradient) post-Doty's operation.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old female patient presented with severe supravalvular aortic stenosis (92 mmHg gradient) post-Doty's operation.
  • Aortography revealed diffuse stenosis from the sinotubular junction to the aortic arch.
  • A modified Brom's patch plasty technique was employed for reoperation.

Findings:

  • The ascending aorta was transected and incised to the sinus of Valsalva.

  • Three patches were used to augment the sinuses and ascending aorta.
  • Postoperative peak systolic pressure gradient significantly decreased to 11 mmHg.

    • Implications:

    • This modified patch plasty technique effectively relieves diffuse supravalvular aortic stenosis.
    • The approach offers a solution for complex, diffuse aortic stenosis.
    • Improved surgical outcomes for patients with challenging supravalvular aortic stenosis.
