Notes:
Seven patients (four adults, three children) with discrete subaortic membranous stenosis underwent balloon dilatation procedures using a single or double balloon technique with reduction in systolic gradient across the membrane from 100.42 ± 19.23 to 29.14 ± 72.54 mmHg (P 〈 0.001). Echocar-diography demonstrated thin membranes in all the patients and postprocedure torn fragments could be visualized. The excellent hemodynamic benefits are sustained during 4–24 months follow-up. The results indicate that transluminal balloon dilatation can be a safe and effective treatment for thin subaortic membrane.
