Endocardial fibroelastosis

Endomyocardial fibroelastosis is a cause of unexplained childhood cardiac insufficiency. It results from diffuse thickening of the endocardium leading to dilated myocardiopathy in the majority of cases and restrictive myocardiopathy in rare cases. It may occur as a primary disorder or may be secondary to another cardiac malformation, notably aortic stenosis or atresia.

Mitral stenosis

As the choice of first relief of critical AS without other anatomical disadvantages including hypoplastic left ventricle, endocardial fibroelastosis, and mitral stenosis, it would be crucial for late results to prevent progression of aortic regurgitation.
