Supravalvular Congenital Mitral Stenosis

Supravalvular Congenital Mitral Stenosis

Congenital supravalvular mitral stenosis is a rare malformation characterized by the presence of a shelf-like fibrous membrane, with 1 or 2 small orifices, covering and obstructing the mitral valve. The membrane is positioned closely to the mitral valve (and sometimes it is attached to it); therefor...
