Moderate post-valvotomy AI was associated with earlier AVR than moderate AS in children; hypothesis-generating for AI-minimizing techniques in congenital aortic stenosis.
Does predominant post-valvotomy aortic insufficiency compared to aortic stenosis affect the timing of aortic valve replacement in children with congenital aortic stenosis?
Children with predominant aortic insufficiency following valvotomy require aortic valve replacement significantly sooner than those with residual stenosis, suggesting that maneuvers to avoid AI should be prioritized during the procedure.
