Surgery for coarctation of the aorta in infants younger than 3 months: end-to-end repair versus subclavian flap angioplasty: is either operation better?1

Abstract: Both procedures are extremely effective for coarctation repair in young infants and run a similar risk of recurrence, which are due to completely different mechanisms. The surgeon's expertise is the major determinant of outcome.

“…Like most congenital heart defects, aortic arch obstruction occurs either in isolation or in association with other cardiac anomalies [4][5][6]. In these cases, surgical and medical management frequently becomes complicated with significant risk of morbidity and mortality [7,8]. Surgical repair of native aortic arch obstruction remains the therapy of choice in infants even though endovascular management options are increasingly being used in older children and adults [9][10][11][12].…”

“…Achados semelhantes foram reportados por COBANOGLU et al (31,32) , que em sua série mais recente, estudaram 86 pacientes abaixo de 3 meses submetidos à aortoplastia com flap de subclávia (n=47) ou à ressecção e anastomose T-T (n=39). Houve comparável taxa de mortalidade precoce (8,5% vs. 5,1%), recoartação (10,5% para ambas) e sobrevida livre de reoperação em 10 anos (90% vs. 86%).…”

“…Na verdade, devemos entender a coartação da aorta na infância como uma entidade anátomo-patológica complexa, que requer o mesmo cuidado dispensado às cardiopatias consideradas como mais graves, tanto no aspecto de planejamento cirúrgico, quanto de cuidados intensivos pós-operatórios. Ainda hoje, não obstante o aprimoramento técnico e cirúrgico, a mortalidade da correção cirúrgica precoce permanece entre 5% e 25% na maioria dos grupos, incrementada em até 10 vezes pela associação com outros defeitos intracardíacos, em especial a CIV (28)(29)(30)32,33) .…”
