Comment
Aortic valvular atresia is part of a spectrum of obstructing聽malformations of the left ventricular outflow tract, which can occur in sub-valvular, valvular, or supra-valvular regions. When the valve is the site, it can be monocuspid, bicuspid, tricuspid (often dome shaped) or quadricuspid. It can be an isolated anomaly or associated with a hypoplastic left ventricle.
