This study was undertaken to review various arch reconstruction options for PDTA hypoplasia in Chinese infants.<h4>Methods</h4>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.<h4>Results</h4>Aortic arch recoTranslational pediatrics330-339https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8976682biostudies-literatureSurgical options for proximal and distal transverse arch hypoplasia in infants with coarctation.PMC8976682Li CZhu ZShi GMa JChen HYan YfalseSurgical options for proximal and distal transverse arch hypoplasia in infants with coarctation.<h4>Background</h4>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.
