[Surgical treatment of isthmic coarctation of the aorta by left subclavian artery post-isthmic aortic by-pass].
Between May 1978 and July 1981 at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Padua University Medical School in Verona, 10 patients with coarctation of the aorta underwent surgical treatment with a by-pass between the left subclavian artery and the descending aorta. A synthetic fibre graft was employed. The patient's age varied between 20 and 46 years and all were hypertensive: 160-220 mmHg systolic, 90-110 diastolic pressure. No hospital deaths occurred. Blood pressure decreased significantly in all patients as well as their electrocardiographic signs of left ventricular hypertrophy.
