Original Research. Diagnosis of the Aortic Coarctation in the Neonatal Period — a Critical Condition in the Emergency Room

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2017
Background: Critical coarctation of the aorta is the most common congenital heart disease with ductal-dependent systemic circulation. In severe forms, this disease represents a critical condition, which can become life-threatening.

The role of posterior aortopexy in the treatment of left mainstem bronchus compression [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVES: We reviewed the role of posterior aortopexy for left mainstem bronchus compression in infants and children. METHODS: Eighteen children with respiratory symptoms were enrolled between 2005 and 2015 for surgical decompression of the left ...

Balloon dilatation and stenting for aortic coarctation: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2016
Background—There is no systematic assessment of available evidence on effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of balloon dilatation and stenting for aortic coarctation. Methods and Results—We systematically searched 4 online databases to identify and

The role of aortic compliance in determination of coarctation severity: Lumped parameter modeling, in vitro study and clinical evaluation [PDF]

, 2015
Early detection and accurate estimation of the extent of coarctation of the aorta (COA) is critical to long-term outcome. Peak-to-peak trans-coarctation pressure gradient (PKdP) higher than 20 mmHg is an indication for interventional/surgical repair ...

Impaired Poststenotic Aortic Pulsatility After Hemodynamically Ideal Coarctation Repair in Children [PDF]

, 2018
Using echocardiographic quantification of aortic pulsatility distal to the site of the surgical anastomosis, we evaluated whether the preoperatively impaired poststenotic aortic pulsatility returned to normal after repair of coarctation with a ...

The Effects of Intervention on Heart Power in Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2017
Background In aortic coarctation, current guidelines recommend reducing pressure gradients that exceed given thresholds. From a physiological standpoint this should ideally improve the energy expenditure of the heart and thus prevent long term organ ...

Percutaneous recanalization of totally occluded coarctation of the aorta in children using Brockenbrough needle and covered stents

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2016
Percutaneous treatment of totally occluded coarctation of the aorta has been reported predominantly in adults. The success and challenges of this procedure in children is reported in few patients.
