Long-Term Follow-Up of Neonatal Coarctation and Left-Sided Cardiac Hypoplasia

Neonatal coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often associated with hypoplastic left-sided cardiac structures. Limited data are available regarding the long-term clinical outcomes. Our purposes were to assess the following in neonates with CoA and left-sided cardiac hypoplasia: (1) left-sided cardiac s...

Zusammenfassung:Neonatal coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often associated with hypoplastic left-sided cardiac structures. Limited data are available regarding the long-term clinical outcomes. Our purposes were to assess the following in neonates with CoA and left-sided cardiac hypoplasia: (1) left-sided cardiac structure growth over time, (2) echocardiographic parameters predicting reintervention, and (3) long-term outcomes and reintervention rates. Data were collected for all patients born with isolated CoA, along with a mitral or aortic Z-score of
