Abstract
Aortic valve (AV) repair is an attractive option in pediatric patients because it avoids the long-term risk of anticoagulation, allows growth, and postpones AV replacement. In the past decade, favorable results in the adult patients and the emergence of a systematic approach to the AV partly explain the 3-fold increase in pediatric AV repairs.1 The effective height (eH) is defined as the difference between the central free margins and the atrioventricular junction and is used as predictor of valve repair durability in adult patients.
