Current management of coarctation of the aorta
Abstract
A series of 55 surgically treated cases of coarctation of the thoracic aorta is presented with an operative mortality of 5-4%. The problems encountered in infants are discussed and postoperative complications in adults and children detailed. The advantages of patch graft aortoplasty over resection and end-to-end anastomosis are described.
