title: Indications for and results of surgery in congenital aortic stenosis.
abstract: All of the follow-up data indicate that aortic valvotomy is a safe and effective means of treatment. No instances of sudden death have been observed during the postoperative follow-up period. Of course, additional long-term studies of the results of surgery are indicated and it is certainly possible that the current criteria relating to indications for hemodynamic study and operation may well require modification in the future.
