Outcomes of Aortic Valve Surgery in Children [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Julia Donald (Principal investigator)

Brief description Congenital aortic stenosis is a life-long condition caused by a narrowing of the aortic valve. It accounts for 2-6% of congenital heart disease, and if left untreated, results in heart failure and death. While several surgical and non-surgical interventions are available, the ideal treatment for this condition is unclear. My research aims to evaluate outcomes of aortic valve repair and compare it to other techniques.
