title: Modified subclavian flap aortoplasty for coarctation repair in patients less than three months of age.
abstract: Subclavian flap aortoplasty is one of the best procedures for coarctation repair, but recoarctation still remains a problem in neonates and infants. We employed subclavian flap aortoplasty with resection of the whole layer of aortic ductal tissue in 9 patients less than 3 months of age with coarctation of the aorta and obtained satisfactory results.
