Background Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) accounts for 5% to 7% of congenital heart
disease, with an incidence of 0.3 to 0.4 per 1000 live births. Surgery was the only choice of …

BACKGROUND: Conflicting results have been obtained for the same operation for repair of
coarctation of the aorta by different institutes. The purpose of this study was to assess the …

BACKGROUND: We retrospectively reviewed our experience in aortic coarctation repair on
infants weighing less than 2 kg to evaluate the results and assess the rate of recoarctation in …

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is ideal for assessing patients with
repaired aortic coarctation (CoA). Little is known on the relation between long-term …

In severe aortic coarctation in the neonatal period, surgical repair is required soon after
clinical stabilization. Elective repair of isolated aortic coarctation is nowadays indicated at 3 …

Aortic coarctation/arch hypoplasia is a relatively common congenital heart disease that
leads to severe cardiovascular complications if left untreated. During the modern era, the …

First described in 1760 by the anatomist Morgagni, coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a
congenital heart defect characterized by narrowing the aorta, typically distal to the left …

OBJECTIVES Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can be treated either surgically or with balloon
angioplasty (BA). Long-term follow-up for either treatment has been limited. Our objective …

ObjectiveWe sought to use techniques of decision analysis to compare values or
preferences for balloon angioplasty versus surgery for treatment of aortic coarctation in …

BACKGROUND: Increased arterial stiffness is linked to hypertension in adults after surgical
repair for coarctation of the aorta. We evaluated the influence of surgical approaches …
