    The study evaluated 151 pediatric patients with AAORCA, revealing a mean age of 7.40 years and a 51.7% symptom presentation rate.

  • 2

    High-risk anatomical features were often present but did not consistently correlate with clinical symptoms in pediatric AAORCA patients.

  • 3

    Patient age was identified as an independent predictor of symptom presentation, while ostial stenosis had the strongest unadjusted association.

  • 4

    Management strategies for pediatric AAORCA varied significantly, reflecting individualized decision-making amid limited pediatric evidence.

  • 5

    No sudden cardiac deaths or major adverse cardiovascular events occurred during the follow-up period in the studied cohort.
