Isolated Supravalvular Stenosing Ring of Left Atrium: Dignosis Before Operation and Successful Surgical Treatment

Kyung J. Chung M.D.1; James A. Manning M.D.1; Elliot O. Lipchik M.D.1; Raymond Gramiak M.D.1; and Earle B. Mahoney M.D.1

A case of supravalvular stenosing ring of the left atrium without an associated cardiac lesion and the youngest (four-month-old) patient ever reported to survive operation with this lesion is presented. The importance of careful diganostic studies including clinical examination, angiocardiography and echocardiography before operation is emphasized. Since this lesion is potentially curable by operation, repair with use of cardiopulmonary bypass should be performed without delay once the diagnosis has been made.
