We report our 30-year single-center experience after surgical repair of SAS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective chart review of all patients aged &amp;lt; 18 years, who underwent surgical repair of SAS from May 1985 to April 2020, was conducted. Mortality was cross-checked with the national health insurance database (93.8% complete mortality follow-up in April 2020). Survival and competing risks analysis were used to analyze the primary endpoints survival and incidence of reoperations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>From May 1985 until April 2020 103 patients (median age 5.5 years) underwent surgical repair of SAS. Survival was 90.8% at 10 years and 88.7% at 20 and 30 years. Age &amp;lt; 1 year at time of surgery, Shone\u2019s complex, mitral stenosis and concomitant mitral valve surgery were associated with mortality. The cumulative incidence of reoperation for SAS was 21.6% at 10 years, 28.2% at 20 and 30 years. The incidence of reoperation for SAS did not differ between the myectomy, membrane resection and combined myectomy and membrane resection groups. The cumulative incidence of reoperation on the aortic valve was 13.5% at 20 years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Recurrence rate of SAS is not to be neglected, though surgical repair of subaortic stenosis has good long-term results. Patients who needed a combined membrane resection and septal myectomy are not more prone to recurrence than patients who underwent solitaire myectomy or membrane resection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2022.1033312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,2]],"date-time":"2022-12-02T09:58:54Z","timestamp":1669975134000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Long-term outcomes after surgical repair of subvalvular aortic stenosis in pediatric patients"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Johanna","family":"Schlein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felix","family":"Wollmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Kaider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Wiedemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harald","family":"Gabriel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephan","family":"Hornykewycz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Base","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ina","family":"Michel-Behnke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00fcnther","family":"Laufer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Zimpfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1547","DOI":"10.1136\/heartjnl-2015-307460","article-title":"Long-term outcomes and risk factors for aortic regurgitation after discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis resection in children.","volume":"101","author":"Pickard","year":"2015","journal-title":"Heart."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1007\/s11748-013-0247-z","article-title":"Modified Konno procedure: surgical management of tunnel-like left ventricular outflow tract stenosis.","volume":"62","author":"Takahashi","year":"2014","journal-title":"Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hlc.2016.05.120","article-title":"Outcomes of subaortic obstruction resection in children.","volume":"26","author":"Donald","year":"2017","journal-title":"Heart Lung Circ."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"212","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezu423","article-title":"Paediatric subvalvular aortic stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of natural history and surgical outcome.","volume":"48","author":"Etnel","year":"2015","journal-title":"Eur J Cardiothoracic Surg."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"88","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.52.1.88","article-title":"Operative treatment in hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.
