Multimodality imaging of an adult with Shone complex.
Shone complex is a rare combination of valvular or supravalvular aortic stenosis, supra-valvular mitral membrane, parachute mitral valve, and coarctation of the aorta. This article presents an unusual case of a 40-year-old woman who presented with a history of progressive dyspnea. We describe the main imaging features and protocol used for visualizing this syndrome using various imaging modalities.
