“…When nonabsorbable suture is used, simple interrupted technique appears to be superior to a continuous repair. Residual gradients following this operation have been reported by other investigators [22][23][24][25], but the number of patients who have required reoperation has been uniformly small when compared to the late results of other operations in infants. We obviously disagree with those surgeons who are concerned about "ductal" tissue in the wall of the aorta and feel that the growth potential of the aorta is optimal with the technique that we have described.…”

“…As técnicas operatórias empregadas na coartação da aorta são a ressecção e anastomose término terminal, a ressecção e substituição por prótese tubular, hoje usada apenas em casos muito especiais, e a istmoplastia ampliando o segmento estreitado com material sintético. Mais recentemente a ampliação do segmento coartado tem sido realizada com retalho de subclávia 9 . A introdução da técnica de istmoplastia representou um grande impacto aparentemente resolvendo o problema do calibre da anastomose uma dez que se podia fazer um amplo alargamento da porção coartada.…”

“…Maior problema constitui a reestenose nos pacientes com idade inferior a 1 ano. Nessa faixa etária são referidas porcentagens de reestenose de 27 a 54% após 2 a 7 anos, muitos pacientes necessitando reoperação 252632 Com a técnica de ampliação com retalho de subclávia tem sido estudadas séries em que não houve reestenose em nenhum paciente nessa faixa etária após 3 anos de segmento 9 Outras complicações tardias que possam influir nos resultados, entre elas o pseudo-aneurisma, são muito raras.…”
