Abstract
Aneurysm of the membranous ventricular septum causing subpulmonic obstruction in patients with corrected transposition is rare but well documented. Higher left-sided (morphologic right) ventricular pressure causes protrusion of the aneurysm into the pulmonary outflow tract of the right-sided morphologic left ventricle, causing obstruction related to lack of conus and proximity of the aneurysm to subpulmonary region. Echo Doppler studies and angiography are useful in making a correct diagnosis. Surgical resection of the aneurysm along with closure of the ventricular septal defect is the treatment of choice. The prognosis is likely to be excellent.Entities:
