Isolated Supravalvular Pulmonary Artery Ridge in a 70‐Year‐Old Man

Abstract: 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.

“…Isolated supravalvular stenosis of the pulmonary artery is a rare and often unsuspected finding, particularly in adults . Most frequently, the obstruction occurs at the level of the pulmonary valve; even if it occurs less frequently at the infundibular level within the trabecular component of the right ventricle or within the pulmonary arterial pathways.…”

“…Isolated supravalvular stenosis of the pulmonary artery is a rare and often unsuspected finding, particularly in adults. 1 Most frequently, the obstruction occurs at the level of the pulmonary valve; even if it occurs less frequently at the infundibular level within the trabecular component of the right ventricle or within the pulmonary arterial pathways. Lesions at any of these levels can occur as part of more complex congenital cardiac malformations such as tetralogy of Fallot, dextroor levo-transposition of great arteries, or atrial septal defect.…”
