Classification of subaortic stenosis

Short segment subaortic obstruction (length < 1/3 of aortic valve diameter)
Long segment subaortic obstruction (length > 1/3 of aortic valve diameter)
Subaortic stenosis due to malalignment of septal structures in the presence of a VSD
 posterior malalignment with obstruction above the VSD
 anterior malalignment with obstruction below the VSD
Subaortic stenosis due to atrioventricular valve tissue in LVOT
 accessory mitral valve tissue
 anomalous attachment of mitral valve chordae
 tricuspid valve tissue prolapsing through VSD
 abnormal left atrioventricular valve in AVSD
  • AVSD, atrioventricular septal defect; LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract; VSD, ventricular septal defect.
