Why the study?
Does surgical valvotomy improve reduction of aortic systolic gradient and post procedural AR in children with severe aortic valve stenosis compared to balloon dilatation?
Does surgical valvotomy improve reduction of aortic systolic gradient and post procedural AR in children with severe aortic valve stenosis compared to balloon dilatation?
Surgical valvotomy may provide superior hemodynamic outcomes, including better gradient reduction and less aortic regurgitation, compared to balloon dilatation in children with severe aortic stenosis.
May favor SAV over BAD in children with severe aortic stenosis; extends comparative evidence on hemodynamic outcomes.
