title: [Causes of death in patients with coarctation of the aorta operated on after the age of 35].
abstract: The article analyses the causes of death of 60 patients with coarctation of the aorta who were operated on after the age of 35 in the period between 1962 and 1988. In the immediate postoperative period the mortality was 8.3%. Fifty-one patients were examined in late-term postoperative periods of up to 24 years. Twelve (23.5%) patients died from cardiovascular diseases; ischemic heart disease was found in 39.2% and residual hypertension in 41.2% of cases. Eight gross preparations of the hearts of patients who died at the clinic were examined with histological study of the myocardium and coronary vessels.
