Why the study?
Does aortic valve repair using a glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patch improve clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in children with aortic valve disease?
Does aortic valve repair using a glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patch improve clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in children with aortic valve disease?
Aortic valve repair using a glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patch in children is a viable procedure that allows for annular growth and delays the need for valve replacement.
Supports short-term safety and annular growth after patch repair; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before broader use.
