Long-term surgical outcomes of supravalvar aortic stenosis: Modified simple sliding aortoplasty

This study investigated long-term outcomes and factors associated with reoperations in patients who underwent surgical repair of congenital supravalvar aortic stenosis (SVAS). A total of 39 consecutive patients who underwent congenital SVAS repair from 1999 through 2018 were included. Aortic root geometry was evaluated by measuring the ratio of the sinotubular junction diameter to the aortic annulus diameter (STJ/AVA) on echocardiography and proportion of intercommissural distance (ICD) of each sinus on computed tomography.
