Brief summary
Congenital aortic stenosis is a lifelong disease often requiring multiple interventions. Valvuloplasty refers to the procedure by which the valve obstruction is relieved by either incising the valve during a surgical procedure or utilising balloon to stretch the valve during an interventional cardiology procedure. We are seeking to determine the early and late outcomes of surgical or balloon aortic valvuloplasty and whether the technique use, influences the long term risk of re-intervention, other morbidities, or death.
