A hyperdynamic left ventricle can lead to post-dilation mid-cavitary obstruction in the absence of any preballoon mid-cavitary obstruction in children with aortic valve stenosis. The purpose of this study was to define the incidence and course of post-dilation midcavitary obstruction. We reviewed th
## Abstract We describe a series of patients with suspected aortic stenosis who were noted to have a significant aortic valve gradient by Doppler echocardiography but only a minimal gradient during cardiac catheterization. Although the pressure recovery phenomenon partially explained this discrepan
This technical note describes a double lumen pigtail catheter that can facilitate measurement of the aortic valve gradient in patients with aortic stenosis. The catheter is passed retrograde into the left ventricle with the aid of a flexible guide wire. In two patients the measured gradient was not
