title: Angiocardiography in congenital subvalvular aortic stenosis: prognosis and operative indications.
abstract: Twenty-three patients with congenital subvalvular aortic stenosis are reviewed. The importance of classifying this stenosis into four types based on angiocardiographic findings is stressed, as are the indications for left heart catheterization during the preoperative and postoperative course of the disease. The type of congenital subvalvular aortic stenosis should be an important consideration during the discussion of operative indications in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients.
