Abstract
In a selected population of neonates with isolated aortic stenosis, surgical valvotomy offers an excellent long-term outcome to patients with a normokinetic left ventricle, while patients with a hypokinetic left ventricle have a poor outcome. Balloon valvotomy offers poor results when performed in patients with complex anomalies.
