Long-term outcomes of primary aortic valve repair in children with congenital aortic stenosis - 15-year experience at a single center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies on the long-term outcomes of children with congenital aortic stenosis who underwent primary aortic repair are limited. We reviewed the long-term outcomes of children who underwent aortic valve (AoV) repair at our center.

Methods

All children (n = 75) who underwent AoV repair between 2006 and 2020 were reviewed. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to demonstrate the survival estimates. The Cox proportional hazard model and competing risk regression model were used to identify risk factors for death, reintervention, adverse events, and replacement.

Results

The median age at surgery was 1.8 (IQR, 0.2-7.7) years, and the median weight at surgery was 10.0 (IQR, 5.0-24.0) kg. Early mortality and late mortality were 5.3% (4/75) and 5.6% (4/71), respecti
