[Pulmonary stenosis and atrial septal defect: a rare association in the elderly].

We report the case of an elderly woman with persistent unrepaired atrial septal defect and moderate pulmonary stenosis. The diagnostic work-up and the echocardiographic findings of such a rare case are reported, along with a brief description of heart failure pathophysiology in this grown-up congenital heart disease.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case with the greater longevity in an elderly patient with unrepaired atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis ever reported in the literature.
