Detection of discrete subaortic stenosis by 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
We present a case with discrete subaortic stenosis diagnosed by 2D and 3D echocardiography. 3D echocardiography was useful to demonstrate its morphology and dynamic change of the left ventricular outflow tract area, providing important information for surgical intervention.
