  • Title: Infant coarctation of the aorta. Alternatives to subclavian flap repair.
    Author: Campbell DN, Paton BC, Wiggins JW, Wolfe RR, Clarke DR.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 1982; 3(2):139-42. PubMed ID: 7155947.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of infant coarctation that could not be repaired by subclavian flap aortoplasty were repaired by alternative techniques. The principles of subclavian flap were considered and its major advantages preserved: in one case by using a common carotid artery flap and in two cases by constructing a free subclavian artery patch graft. Both of these alternatives worked well and should be considered for repair of infant coarctation when the anatomy is unsuitable for subclavian flap aortoplasty.
