Am J Cardiol. 1998 May 15;81(10):1271-3. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(98)00101-5.

Abstract

Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a rare complication of aortic dissection. We report on echocardiographic and magnetic resonance observations in 2 cases of aortic dissection with false lumen thrombosis of the ascending aorta and severe narrowing of the true lumen.
