Reinterventions in patients with congenital aortic stenosis and a commissurotomy
Most (54.7%) patients with a commissurotomy, more than half of them within 30 years and eventually all will need a reintervention. This is important information to patients, especially for women in childbearing age. The higher prevalence of LVH in the group with reintervention needs attention during follow-up. Furthermore, those without reintervention, for unknown reasons, had a higher mortality. Our data strengthen the arguments for close outpatient follow-up among patients with a previous commissurotomy.
