The authors present the case of a 43-year-old woman with a double-chambered right ventricle. The patient had been observed since youth for a ventricular septal defect that closed spontaneously. At the same time, she gradually developed a right ventricular outflow tract obstruction with a high-pressure gradient. She was scheduled for cardiac surgery for severe symptoms and severe subvalvular pulmonary stenosis.

Keywords: Subvalvular pulmonary stenosis; Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction; Right ventricular hypertrophy; Three-dimensional echocardiography
