Popis: Background Several surgical techniques for the treatment of congenital supravalvular aortic stenosis have been developed, yet there is no consensus about the optimal approach. We reviewed our institutional experience with 2- and 3-sinus reconstruction techniques. Methods Thirty-eight patients operated on for supravalvular aortic stenosis between 1987 and 2012 in our institution were analyzed retrospectively. Eight patients (21%) were infants and in 5 (13.2%) diffuse stenosis was present. Mean peak pressure gradient was 86.1 ± 28.7 mm Hg preoperatively. Surgical procedures included single-patch enlargement (McGoon, n = 3), inverted bifurcated-patch aortoplasty (Doty, n = 22), 3-sinus patch augmentation (Brom, n = 8), and autologous slide aortoplasty (n = 5). Major concomitant procedures were performed in 10 patients (26.3%). Results Early mortality was 2.6%. Follow-up continued for a median of 7.5 years (range 3 weeks to 22 years). Overall survival estimates were 94% and 90% and overall freedom from reoperation was 83% at 5 and 20 years, respectively. No differences were found between surgical techniques in respect to survival, clinical course, hemodynamic outcome, or freedom from reoperation rates. A significantly worse outcome in regard to survival and reoperation rates was observed in infants. Conclusions Our study demonstrates equally good results for the repair of supravalvular aortic stenosis with both 2- and 3-sinus reconstruction. No evidence of a superior outcome for 3-sinus reconstruction techniques was found. Operation in infancy is an important factor associated with unfavorable outcome.
