Abstract
A 14-year old asymptomatic boy was diagnosed as having a large calcifi ed subaortic left ventricular aneurysm that was found to obstruct flow across the right pulmonary artery during systole. Surgical patch clos ure of the neck of the aneurysm resulted in relief of obstruction. The case is reported for its rarity, massive calcification, absence of ao rtic regurgitation and dynamic compression of the right pulmonary arte ry. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
