Williams-Beuren syndrome was associated with 45 (60%) patients. Associated anomalies included pulmonary stenosis in 40 (53%) patients, aortic coarctation in 24 (32%), and abnormal coronary arteries in 14 (19%). Transplant-free survival at 15 years was 92%, and no difference was found between surgical techniques (P\u2009=\u2009.339). Abnormal coronary arteries were a risk factor for major adverse cardiac events (odds ratio 8.666, P\u2009=\u2009.011) and mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 4.285, P\u2009=\u2009.030). Cumulative incidence of reoperation at 15 years was 18%, with no difference between surgical techniques (P\u2009=\u2009.299). However, patients with pulmonary stenosis (HR 3.450, P\u2009=\u2009.020) had a higher risk of reoperation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Survival after surgical repair of SVAS is over 90% at 15 years regardless of the surgical technique.
