- Subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) is a condition that can cause obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract and may progress to aortic valve regurgitation; this study reviews 30 years of surgical repairs for SAS at a single center.
- A retrospective review was conducted on 103 patients (avg. age 5.5 years) who underwent surgery from 1985 to 2020, revealing a 10-year survival rate of 90.8%, with certain factors increasing mortality risk.
- The study found a significant reoperation rate for SAS, with 21.6% at 10 years, though the type of surgical approach (myectomy vs. membrane resection) did not affect
