2 Figure 1 Cardiac magnetic resonance images. A, Coronal image through the aortic outflow tract showing a circumferential membrane (filled arrows) seen to arise at a 90° angle from the wall of the aortic root 2.1 cm distal to the aortic valve. The very mobile medial part of this membrane was obstructing blood flow directly superior to the aortic valve (open arrow). B, Aortic root, with maximum dilatation of 5.4 cm.
