This study found that left ventricular remodeling occurs mainly within the first 3 years in children with predominantly residual aortic insufficiency after balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV), with no subsequent significant functional changes over the medium term. These findings improve our understanding of expected patient trajectories and may inform decisions on the timing of reintervention.
Background: Aortic valve stenosis is the most common type of congenital left ventricular (LV) outflow tract obstruction. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) has become the first-line treatment pathway in many centers. Our aim was to assess the trajectory of LV remodeling following BAV in children and its relationship to residual aortic stenosis (AS) and insufficiency (AI). Methods: Children <18 years of age who underwent BAV for isolated aortic stenosis from 2004 to 2012 were eligible for inclusion. Those with AI before BAV, other complex congenital heart lesions, or Results: Among the 98 enrolled children, the median (interquartile range) age at BAV was 2.8 months (0.2-75). The median (interquartile range) follow-up was 6.8 years (1.9-9.0). Children with predominantly residual AI (n=11) demonstrated progressive increases in their LV end-diastolic dimension Z score within the first 3 years after the BAV, followed by a plateau (P<0.001). Their mean LV circumferential and longitudinal strain values remained within the normal range but lower than in the non-AI group (PP=0.001, respectively). Children with predominantly residual aortic stenosis (n=44) had no changes in LV dimensions but had a rapid early increase in mean LV circumferential and longitudinal strain. The cumulative proportion (95% CI) of reintervention at 5 years following BAV was 33.7% (23.6%-42.4%). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that LV remodeling occurs mainly during the first 3 years in children with predominantly residual AI after BAV, with no subsequent significant functional changes over the medium term. These data improve our understanding of expected patient trajectories and thus may inform decisions on the timing of reintervention.
