Abstract
The application of balloon valvotomy as primary treatment for neonatal congenital aortic stenosis is contentious. In this debate, we discuss data comparing outcomes of a percutaneous and surgical strategy between two tertiary centers that have adopted opposite therapeutic strategies. The outcomes with surgical and balloon therapies appear comparable. These contemporaneous data validate the empiric switch to primary balloon valvotomy in the modern era.
