POST-OPERATIVE BLOOD PRESSURES IN COARCTATION OF THE AORTA

Post-operative Blood Pressures in Coarctation of the Aorta.

Gross and Hufnagel (1945) and Crafoord and Nylin (1945) independently reported successful repair of the coarctation of aorta. Since then many thousand patients have had surgical correction of this anomaly (Bailey, 1957; Campbell and Baylis, 1956; Cleland et al., 1956; Keith, Rowe, and Vlad, 1958). There have been numerous reports dealing with the immediate post-operative period (d'Abreau and Pa...

COARCTATION OF THE AORTA Negligence in Diagnosis Four (Case- Reports).

SUMMARY: Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital heart disease consisting 7% of total congenital heart diseases. Its prevalence in men is 2 times more than that in women. This disease is associated with other congenital diseases. including aortic bicuspid valve, the linkage between two ventricles and arteriole channel It is often seen in the Turner syndrome which may lead to complications su...

Surgery for Coarctation of the Aorta: Long-term Post-operative Results

In this retrospective study, the results of surgery for coarctation of the aorta in 376 patients treated at the Centre of Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplanttation in the 1978/2001 period were evaluated. The average age at surgery was 7.2 ± 8.9 years and 41 patient were younger than 3 months. The methods most frequently used included resection with end-to-end anastomosis (189 patients), patch...

The Renal Blood Flow in Coarctation of the Aorta.

Cerebral Blood Flow in Coarctation of the Aorta.

The hemodynamics of coarctation of the aorta have been extensively investigated. These studies have shown that the renal blood flow is within normal limits (1), as in flow to the extremities (2-4), even though the circulation time to the lower parts of the body has a tendency to be prolonged (5). Although coronary blood flow has been reported to be increased (6), the data are quite scattered, a...
