Flow Control versus Antisiphon Valves: Late Results Concerning Slit Ventricles and Slit-Ventricle Syndrome

Abstract

SV develop over years. The majority of patients with SV remain asymptomatic. No significant difference between the two groups was found concerning SV and SVsyndrome. If SV develop early in the postoperative period, complications are more frequent in the long-term, so elective valve adjustment should be considered.
