Summary:The recent literature on aortic septal defect is reviewed. A patient is reported whose clinical, roentgen, and cardiac catheterization findings were indicative of a high ventricular septal defect. At operation the subject was found to have an aortic septal defect. Surgical closure was attempted but the patient expired. At autopsy, in addition to the aortic septal defect, there were found marked changes in the pulmonary arterial system. Thoracic aortography is at present the method of choice for preoperative diagnosis.
