Modified simple sliding aortoplasty for supravalvar aortic stenosis

Ann Thorac Surg. 2007 Jun;83(6):2248-50. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2006.08.052.

Abstract

We describe a modified simple sliding aortoplasty for supravalvar aortic stenosis. This technique is easier, has a more physiologic approach, and has the advantage of not using foreign material to provide aortic growth potential in children. For the patients presented in this study, the mid-term results of modified simple sliding aortoplasty have showed good results.
