Abstract
Subclavian nap aortoplasty is one of the best procedures for coarctati on repair, but recoarctation still remains a problem in neonates and i nfants. We employed subclavian nap aortoplasty with resection of the w hole layer of aortic ductal tissue in 9 patients less than 3 months of age with coarctation of the aorta and obtained satisfactory results.
