  • Title: [New aspects of the surgical treatment of aortic coarctation].
    Author: Spiridonov AA, Iaroshchuk AS, Tutov EG, Arakelian VS.
    Journal: Grud Serdechnososudistaia Khir; 1990 Dec; (12):12-5. PubMed ID: 2150313.
    Abstract:
    The article substantiates the urgency of the problem and shows the results of surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta in 103 patients who were operated on in the recent 5 years. The operation of choice was resection of the coarctation with the formation of an end-to-end anastomosis (90.3% of operations). Establishment of the anastomosis by methods developed at the department makes it possible to achieve good results and avoid complications in the immediate and late-term postoperative periods. An anomalous arterial branch, a reduced branch of the 5th aortic arch called Abbott's artery, was ligated in 40% of cases. No fatal outcomes occurred in the last 5 years in surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta.
