title: A case of successful valve repair for aortic insufficiency associated with discrete subaortic stenosis.
abstract: Discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS) is an uncommon form of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction especially in adulthood. Moreover, aortic regurgitation (AR), which is a common sequence of DSS, requiring surgical correction is extremely rare. We report the case of a 33-year old man who had severe DSS accompanied with moderate aortic insufficiency. He underwent successful surgery including relief of DSS and aortic valve repair. Although careful follow-up is mandatory for recurrent AR and DSS, our approach was thought to be feasible for a young adult patient with DSS complicated with AR.
