Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction can occur at subvalvar, valvar, and supravalvar levels. Severity and progression can be evaluated by echocardiography. Aortic valve stenosis can usually be relieved by balloon valvotomy, but some patients require surgery, either with valvotomy, valve replacement, or the Ross procedure. Sub- and supravalvar aortic stenosis require surgical management. Long-term follow-up of all patients is required.
