The optimal timing for AVR in young adults can be hard to predict with the lack of evidence-based guidelines. One third of a total of 172 patients recruited from a single tertiary cardiac center between 2005-2019 underwent surgery before meeting guideline indications, but they were more likely to normalize their LV postoperatively.

Unicuspid aortic valve requires intervention in early life and the ideal treatment is unknown. This study examined 345 patients divided into two groups: 167 undergoing valve repair and 91 undergoing a Ross procedure.
