Enhanced Characterization of Ventricular Performance After Coarctation Repair in Neonates and Young Children

Background Within the group of patients undergoing coarctectomy today, two subgroups can be identified: neonates with a critical coarctation and nonneonatal patients. We hypothesize that patients who have to undergo repair in the neonatal period will have more persistent impairment of ventricular pe...

Zusammenfassung:	Background Within the group of patients undergoing coarctectomy today, two subgroups can be identified: neonates with a critical coarctation and nonneonatal patients. We hypothesize that patients who have to undergo repair in the neonatal period will have more persistent impairment of ventricular performance postoperatively. Accordingly, we aimed to characterize biventricular performance after coarctectomy in neonatal and nonneonatal patients. Methods Children (aged 0 to 17 years) undergoing a coarctectomy were prospectively included and classified as neonatal (
