  • Title: Aortic elongation induced aortic stenosis (AEAS).
    Author: Shah AK, Hall RM, Large SR.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2007 Sep; 84(3):1010-2. PubMed ID: 17720422.
    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.
