[Remote results of the surgical treatment of aortic coarctation by the indirect isthmoplasty method].
Indirect isthmoplasty of the narrow portion of the aorta was performed in 79 patients. Immediate and nearest results have shown the effectiveness of the method in most patients. Remote results were studied in 55 patients, in 47 of them (85%) within the period of from 11 to 23 years after the operation. Unsatisfactory results were found in 28 patients (53%). In 18 patients (34%) the failure was caused by formation of an aneurysm in the site of plasty of the aorta with a synthetic flap. The frequency of the complication was found to depend on the term after surgery. In most cases (14) the aneurysms were formed because of disintegration of the suture material.
