Clinically silent, right and left ventricular outflow tract obstructions in an adult patient (RCD code: IV‑3A)
Journal Title: Journal of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a narrowing of the way that conducts blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary ar‑ tery. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a stenosis of the path that leads blood from the left ventricle to the aorta. Combination of right and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a very rare finding. We report a case of a 67‑year‑old male with asymptomatic bi‑ ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, treatment opportunities for the patient based on review of literature and actual recommendations. JRCD 2017; 3 (2): 50–53
