Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) accounts for approximately 5–8% of all congenital heart
defects. Depending on the severity of the CoA and the presence of associated cardiac …

Background Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) leads to increased morbidity and mortality later
in life despite early surgical or percutaneous treatment. Many long-term complications are …

Aortic coarctation is a common congenital heart defect that often requires correction at a
young age. Currently, success is defined by the achievement of a durable repair with low …

Current management of isolated CoA, localized narrowing of the aortic arch in the absence
of other congenital heart disease, is a success story with improved prenatal diagnosis, high …

OBJECTIVES The main challenge of aortic coarctation (CoA) repair in infants is to obtain
durable results without morbidity. We aimed to describe predictors of aortic arch …

Background Coarctation of the aorta can be associated with hypoplasia of the proximal
transverse aortic arch. One approach to manage this condition is via left thoracotomy and …

Background: Native aortic coarctation in young infants can be treated surgically or with
balloon angioplasty, although the latter approach remains controversial. We sought to …

OBJECTIVES Surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often possible through left
thoracotomy and without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. Recent studies reporting the …

Recurrent aortic arch obstruction (RAAO) remains a major cause of morbidity following
surgical neonatal repair of coarctation of the aorta (CoA). Elucidating predictors of RAAO …

Background: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) with aortic arch hypoplasia (AAH) is a relatively
common congenital heart disease in clinical practice. Nonetheless, the corrective surgical …
