What are the long-term outcomes (survival and reoperation rates) after resection of fixed subaortic stenosis?
Resection of fixed subaortic stenosis is associated with good mid-term survival, but carries a significant risk of residual or recurrent obstruction and aortic valve incompetence requiring careful long-term follow-up.
Ivert et al. (1989) studied this question.
