Therefore, this study aims to evaluate outcomes in adult patients with congenital AS and identify prognostic markers for aortic valve replacement (AVR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this multicentre study, patients aged 18\u201355 years with congenital AS (peak velocity \u22652.5 m\/s) registered in the Dutch CONCOR (Congential Cor Vitia) registry from expert centres for congenital heart disease between 2001 and 2019 were included. Exclusion criteria were severe aortic regurgitation (AR) or prior AVR.

During a median follow-up period of 7.9 (IQR 4.1\u201312.6) years, 7 patients died (1.6%) and 177 patients underwent AVR (41.5%). LV systolic dysfunction was the primary indication for AVR in three patients (1.7%). Peak velocity at baseline (HR 3.17, 95%\u2009CI 2.29 to 4.39), non-sinus rhythm (HR 3.12, 95%\u2009CI 1.62 to 6.02) and concentric LV geometry (HR 1.64, 95%\u2009CI 1.04 to 2.58) were associated with the primary endpoint beside age.
