Manifestation of juxtaductal coarctation after surgical ligation of persistent ductus arteriosus in infancy.

Abstract: Coarctation of the aorta was observed in 2 infants after surgical interruption of the ductus arteriosus. In a further 3 patients transient, but severe, upper limb hypertension in the postoperative period required antihypertensive therapy. The relevance of these findings to the pathogenesis ofjuxtaductal coarctation is discussed and their surgical importance is stressed, as the situation can be easily corrected if recognized on the operating table. Rudolph (I970) and Rudolph, Heymann, and Spitznas (I972) recent… Show more

“…Abnormal fetal hemodynamics has been proposed to explain arch obstruction in patients with interrupted aortic arch with ventricular septal defect or in patients with simple isthmic hypoplasia [2,9,11]. Additionally, a normal posterior infolding of the aorta across from the ductal insertion has been described.…”
