“…2 More commonly, isolated obstruction of the pulmonary artery is due to extrinsic compression or to intraluminal invasion by thoracic neoplasm. [3][4][5] Some patients may have residual or secondary supravalvular pulmonary stenosis or peripheral pulmonary stenosis after surgical procedures such as mechanical pulmonary valve replacement, which necessitates an additional interventional therapy, 6 or after an arterial switch operation for transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum, which is the most common cause of reintervention. 7 In this case report, none of the above mentioned causes is involved in the genesis of pulmonary stenosis, which is to be considered congenital.…”

Isolated Supravalvular Pulmonary Stenosis: A Rare Echocardiographic Finding

et al. 2014

Isolated supravalvular pulmonary stenosis is a rare finding, usually evidenced in the pediatric age. Here, we report a case of a 76-year-old patient with isolated, severely obstructive, pulmonary supravalvular stenosis. The peculiarity of the present case is the paucity of symptoms and lack of changes in right heart sections, despite of the importance of stenosis. The report confirms the utility of transthoracic two- and three-dimensional echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography in the detection and quantification of this rare anomaly.

“…Stenosis of the main pulmonary artery is commonly associated with the congenital rubella syndrome; however, it usually occurs with other congenital defects, including sensorineural deafness, cataracts, patent ductus arteriosus, septal defects, and peripheral branch pulmonary artery stenosis 2 . More commonly, isolated obstruction of the pulmonary artery is due to extrinsic compression or to intraluminal invasion by thoracic neoplasm, such as carcinoid tumors 3–5 …”

Echocardiography

Transthoracic echocardiography allows noninvasive assessment of the structure and function of the great vessels of the heart. We report a case of a 70-year-old man who had an isolated, mildly obstructive, supravalvular pulmonary artery ridge that was detected incidentally with transthoracic echocardiography. This report confirms the utility of transthoracic echocardiography in the detection of this condition and discusses quantification of this rare anomaly.
