چکیده

The object of this study is to present our experience in dealing with coarctation of the aorta and to discuss policy in the management of individual patients who have widely varying ages and symptoms, sometimes complicated by additional lesions. Surgical treatment, which is on a national basis, was developed rather hesitantly at first, but is now practised with confidence. Forty-four cases have been seen since 1948 of whom twenty-seven have received surgical treatment.
