Surgical options for proximal and distal transverse arch hypoplasia in infants with coarctation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although various surgical techniques have been reported for aortic arch reconstruction for proximal and distal transverse arch (PDTA) hypoplasia, no consensus has been reached on a surgical option for initial arch reconstruction. This study was undertaken to review various arch reconstruction options for PDTA hypoplasia in Chinese infants.

Methods

A retrospective review of 121 infants who underwent initial arch reconstruction of the proximal and distal aortic arches between 2010 and 2020 was performed. Freedom from recoarctation was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to determine perioperative data associated with an increased risk of recoarctation after surgery.
