This study reports a successful surgical treatment for inborn supravalvular aortic stenosis in an adult using a synthetic patch. The procedure also addressed an associated incompetent mitral valve.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Surgery
Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is a rare congenital heart defect.
It can lead to significant hemodynamic compromise in adulthood.
Surgical intervention is often necessary for symptomatic patients.

Observation:

An adult patient presented with symptomatic inborn supravalvular aortic stenosis.
The patient also had an incompetent mitral valve.
Surgical correction was deemed the appropriate course of action.

Findings:

Successful surgical repair of the stenotic ascending aorta was achieved using a synthetic patch graft.
Simultaneously, a plastic operation was performed to correct the incompetent mitral valve.
The combined surgical approach effectively addressed both pathologies.

Implications:

This case demonstrates the feasibility and success of surgical correction for adult supravalvular aortic stenosis with aortic valve repair.
Synthetic patch aortoplasty offers a viable option for managing stenotic aortic segments.
Multivalve surgery may be necessary in complex adult congenital heart disease cases.
