title: Type II aortic dissection complicating discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis in an adult man.
abstract: We report a case of a 41-year-old man in whom discrete subaortic stenosis was complicated by a type II aortic dissection. Such an association has not been previously described. Diagnosis was readily achieved with echocardiography and an emergency repair was successful.
