The supracristal outlet VSD is called subarterial VSD. In subarterial VSD, the lack of a portion of the outlet septum to support the aortic valve cusp of the aortic valve causes VSD to sag and be covered. As a result the aortic valve insufficiency arises. This can sometimes be a sign for a small subarterial VSD. | The supracristal outlet VSD is called subarterial VSD.
