We documented abnormal LA Stiff values in adults and adolescents after c-LVOO repair. Patients with CoA demonstrated the most impaired LA Stiff values. Overweight may contribute to worse LA Stiff values. Further studies are required to determine the prognostic implications of LA Stiff in patients with repaired c-LVOOs.
