Abstract
Congenital aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a relatively common anomaly. Congenital AS occurs much more commonly in men, with a male to female ratio of 4:1. Related cardiac anomalies have been seen in up to 1/5 of patients. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and coarctation of the aorta happen most often with AS [1].
