Patients with large sub‐pulmonic ventricular septal defect (VSD) present early as a results of their complications. Some present late, due to the restriction of VSD by the right coronary cusp (RCC) due to its prolapse. In this report, we present a rare case of sub‐pulmonic VSD in a 33‐year‐old man who developed a sub‐pulmonic stenosis due to the prolapse of the RCC into the right ventricular outflow tract.
