[Supraventricular aortic stenosis. A different surgical approach].
A 15-year old female with William's syndrome became symptomatic for congenital supravalvular aortic stenosis. Surgery was carried out using an unpublished technique which consisted in a symmetrical enlargement of the aortic root by inserting three triangular patches of autologous pericardium. This method has the advantage of restoring normal valvular competence while respecting coronary orifices .
