Long-Term Outcomes of Patients With Cardiovascular Abnormalities and Williams Syndrome

Long-Term Outcomes of Patients With Cardiovascular Abnormalities and Williams Syndrome:

"In conclusion, CVAs are common in patients with WS, but supravalvar aortic stenosis and peripheral pulmonary stenosis occurred less frequently in this large cohort than previously reported. In patients with WS and CVAs, interventions are common and usually occur by 5 years of age. Most patients with WS do not require intervention during long-term follow-up, and the overall mortality has been low."
