Subvalvular aortic stenosis developed after patch closure of perimembranous'VSD is rarely reported. A 18-month-old, 8 kg child with this complication after VSD closure 8 months ago in other hospital has been treated medically and was admitted to this hospital because of severe cardiomegaly and sign of heart failure. Cardiac catheterization revealed 55 mmHg of pressure gradient between aorta and LV cavity. We report one successful redo case of surgically relieved subvalvular aortic stenosis in a child after patch closure of perimembranous VSD.
