  1. AVR, aortic valve replacement; LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract
  2. aValve No. is specified if reoperation valve was included in the study as AVR surgery had been performed when patient was aged < 18 years (Three patients received two included valves: No. 6 and No. 7, No. 11 and No. 15, No. 19 and No. 28; one patient received three included valves: No. 17, No. 20 and No. 44)
