Long‐term outcomes and re‐interventions following balloon aortic valvuloplasty in pediatric patients with congenital aortic stenosis: A single‐center study

Objectives To describe long‐term risk of mortality, aortic insufficiency (AI), and re‐intervention following balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) in pediatric patients and to identify risk factors for re‐intervention. Background Few studies report long‐term outcomes following BAV in infants and children. Methods Kaplan‐Meier estimates and proportional hazards regression were used in a retrospective study of 154 patients undergoing BAV from 1993 to...
