Abstract:
Abnormal elastic properties of the ascending aorta in patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are already present in neonates before and after successful repair. To prove the midterm outcome for vascular pathology, a cohort of 15 patients was prospectively reevaluated. In this study, 15 patients after neonatal CoA repair (study group) and 15 healthy normal children (control group) were examined (mean age, 3.0 +/- 1.0 years). The aortic wall stiffness index and distensibility were calculated...     »
