Abstract
A 36-year-old patient was referred because of fatigue and decreased ex ercise tolerance 20 years after separate aortic valve replacement and aortic root reconstruction. The presence of a loud systolic ejection m urmur and persistent left ventricular hypertrophy led to the diagnosis of severe supravalvular aortic flow obstruction by indirect compressi on of a large pseudoaneurysm.
