Management of neonatal critical AS with unicommissural valve should be anatomy-guided; leaves open need for prospective outcome comparisons.
Critical aortic stenosis with unicommissural valve in the neonate is a complex lesion. These neonates have varying degrees of development of left-sided structures of the heart. Treatment decision depends on the anatomic and functional nature of the aortic valve and other left-sided structures. This review presents the various treatment modalities available for the treatment of these complex patients.
