Management of Intraventricular Gradient in Patients With Aortic Stenosis

Abstract

In patients with severe left ventricle hypertrophy and aortic stenosis, the presence of intraventricular gradient should always be investigated. Its prompt recognition enables a precise diagnosis and safe treatment of both conditions. We report 2 cases demonstrating a successful and novel approach to this clinical situation.
