1. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2002 Mar;123 3 :443-8; discussion 449-50. Aortic arch reconstruction with pulmonary autograft patch aortoplasty.
Adequate arch augmentation for interrupted aortic arch repair is quite important to avoid post-operative recoarctation and bronchial compression. We describe he...

The optimal technique for aortic arch reconstruction through median sternotomy is still under debate. We have introduced the technique of pulmonary autograft patch aortoplasty as a reliable alternative. METHODS: The outcomes of 51 infants who underwent neonatal repair of interrupted aortic arch (n = 28) or coarctation associated with ventricular septal defect (n = 23) since 1992 were analyzed.
Aortic Valve, Root, Ascending Aorta and Arch. Aortic disease often simultaneously affects some combination of the aortic valve, root, ascending aorta and arch.
