Two decades of aortic coarctation treatment in children; evaluating techniques.
CONCLUSION: Nowadays, complex patients with associated cardiac defects and arch hypoplasia are being treated surgically on bypass, whereas catheter-based intervention is introduced for non-complex patients. Reintervention is common and more frequent after catheter-based intervention and in surgery under 3 months of age. One fifth of the 206 patients remained hypertensive.
