title: Aortic elongation induced aortic stenosis (AEAS).
abstract: We present a case of a 71-year-old man who presented with aortic stenosis. This was pseudo-aortic obstruction resulting from the mitral valve subvalvular apparatus impacting into a normal aortic valve as a result of elongation of the ascending aorta. To place this case in context, we also provide a review of left ventricular outflow obstruction with an emphasis on subvalvular stenosis.
