Combined Supravalvular Aortic and Pulmonic Stenosis [PDF]
The association of supravalvular aortic stenosis and postvalvular pulmonic stenosis is described in three patients. In addition to the clinical findings resulting from obstruction to both ventricular outflow tracts, other unusual features were also present, such as a difference in the pulses and blood pressure of the upper extremities and absence of ...
