    Abstract

    Supraaortic stenosis is a localized or diffuse congenital narrowing of the ascending aorta at the levels of superior margin of the sinus of Valsalva, just above coronary arteries. Hemodynamically, it is a usually manifestated as aortic stenosis especially when it combined with subaortic membrane. And there is no case report of supraaortic stenosis combined with subaortic membrane which has aortic valvular reurgitation due to secondary change of dilated sinus of Valsalva by supraaortic ridge. We have experienced a case of aortic regurgitation associated with supraaortic ridge combined with subvalvular aortic membrane.
