[Aortic coarctation. Treatment under one year (author's transl)].
Fifteen patients operated upon for aortic coarctation under one year are reported. Nine of them survived. The E.C.G. was very useful as far as the surgical prognosis is concerned. Dead patients showed either right or biventricular hypertrophy, with alteration of the repolarisation. On the other hand 50% of survivors had left ventricular hypertrophy. In six of the operated patients a plasty between subclavian artery and aortic arch was performed. The remaining patients were treated by end-to-end anastomosis.
