Key result
Preoperative echocardiographic features (mitral valve area, LV dimension, aortic root diameter, and BSA) predicted survival after classic valvotomy in neonates with 95% accuracy.
Why the study?
Do preoperative echocardiographic measurements of left heart structures predict survival after valvotomy or Norwood operation in neonates with critical aortic stenosis?

May support echo-guided valvotomy selection in neonatal critical AS; leaves open prospective validation versus Norwood.
Observational
Do preoperative echocardiographic measurements of left heart structures predict survival after valvotomy or Norwood operation in neonates with critical aortic stenosis?
Effect estimate: 95% accuracy
Preoperative echocardiographic measurements of multiple left heart structures can accurately predict survival and help select between valvotomy and Norwood procedure in neonates with critical aortic stenosis.
Rhodes et al. (1991) conducted an observational in Critical aortic stenosis. Preoperative echocardiographic anatomic features was evaluated on Survival after valvotomy (95% accuracy). Preoperative echocardiographic features (mitral valve area, LV dimension, aortic root diameter, and BSA) predicted survival after classic valvotomy in neonates with 95% accuracy.
