Reversed subclavian flap angioplasty for arch coarctation of the aorta.
Subclavian flap repair in infants with coarctation of the aorta has been shown to be superior to end-to-end reconstruction. Aortic arch coarctations in 2 infants were repaired utilizing reversed subclavian flaps with good results. The effectiveness of flap reconstruction in less common forms of aortic coarctation in infants is demonstrated.
