This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the potential of BSI as an emerging echocardiographic approach for evaluating subaortic and aortic valvar repair. BSI enhances the quantitative evaluation of the left ventricular outflow tract of immediate surgical outcomes beyond traditional echocardiographic parameters and aids in post-operative decision-making. However, larger studies are needed to validate these findings and establish standardized protocols for clinical implementation.
