Abstract
Objectives By reviewing the diagnostic process for adolescents with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in our institution, we analyzed the reasons for delayed diagnosis of CoA. We also proposed a diagnostic protocol to improve the detection rate of CoA. Methods In this retrospective study, we included 48 patients aged 12-18 years who were diagnosed with CoA in our hospital from January 2000 to November 2022. Clinical data from involved cases in local hospitals and our institution were collected. Results All patients had blood pressure (BP) measurements in upper and lower extremities in our institution. They all had hypertension, 29 (60.4%) of whom had known histories of the same. BP in the upper limbs of 47 (97.9%) patients was ≥20 mmHg higher than that in the lower limbs, and BP in the upper limb of 1 (2.1%) patient was greater than 0 and less than 20 mmHg than that in the lower limb. Echocardiography (ECHO) was performed in all patients, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 44 patients (91.7%). There were 38 (79.2%) patients who visited local hospitals. Among them, a total of 20 (52.6%) patients had their right upper extremity BP measured, 18 (47.4%) only had their left upper extremity BP measured, and 16 (42.1%) had their lower extremity BP measured. ECHO was performed in 27 (56.2%) patients and CT/MRI was performed in 18 (37.5%) patients. The detection rate for CT/MRI was 100%, and those of ECHO were 72.9% and 18.5% at our institution and a local hospital, respectively. Forty-eight (100%) and 23 (60.5%) patients were detected in our institution and local hospitals (P < 0.0001). Conclusion We recommend measuring BP in the bilateral upper extremities. Measurement of BP in the lower extremities is recommended if hypertension is diagnosed. MRI/CT is recommended when BP in the upper extremity is greater than that in the lower extremity.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Paediatricians play an integral role in the lifelong care of children with CHD, many of whom will undergo cardiac surgery. There is a paucity of literature for the paediatrician regarding the post-operative care of such patients. OBSERVATIONS The aim of this manuscript is to summarise essential principles and pertinent lesion-specific context for the care of patients who have undergone surgery or intervention resulting in a biventricular circulation. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Familiarity with common issues following cardiac surgery or intervention, as well as key details regarding specific lesions and surgeries, will aid the paediatrician in providing optimal care for these patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been utilized in the management and care of pediatric patients for nearly 40 years. It has evolved to become an invaluable tool in the assessment of the littlest of hearts for diagnosis, pre-interventional management and follow-up care. Although mentioned in a number of consensus and guidelines documents, an up-to-date, large, stand-alone guidance work for the use of CMR in pediatric congenital 36 and acquired 35 heart disease endorsed by numerous Societies involved in the care of these children is lacking. This guidelines document outlines the use of CMR in this patient population for a significant number of heart lesions in this age group and although admittedly, is not an exhaustive treatment, it does deal with an expansive list of many common clinical issues encountered in daily practice.

Balloon-Expandable Cheatham-Platinum Stents Versus Self-Expandable Nitinol Stents in Coarctation of Aorta: A Randomized Controlled Trial. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2022; 15:308-317. [PMID: 35144787 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2021.11.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare the safety and efficacy of the balloon-expandable stent (BES) and the self-expandable stent (SES) in the endovascular treatment of coarctation of aorta. BACKGROUND Coarctoplasty with stents has conferred promising results. Although several nonrandomized studies have approved the safety and efficacy of the BES and the SES, no high-quality evidence exists for this comparison. METHODS In the present open-label, parallel-group, blinded endpoint randomized pilot clinical trial, adult patients with de novo native aortic coarctation were randomized into Cheatham-platinum BES and uncovered nitinol SES groups. The primary outcome of the study was a composite of procedural and vascular complications. The secondary outcomes of the study consisted of the incidence of aortic recoarctation, thoracic aortic aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm formation, and residual hypertension at a 12-month follow-up. RESULTS Among 105 patients who were screened between January 2017 and December 2019, 92 eligible patients (32 women [34.8%]) with a median age of 30 years (IQR: 20-36 years) were randomized equally into the BES and SES groups. The composite of procedural and vascular complications occurred in 10.9% of the BES group and 2.2% of the SES group (odds ratio: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.02-1.62; P = 0.20). Aortic recoarctation occurred in 5 patients (5.4%), 3 patients (6.5%) in the BES group and 2 patients (4.3%) in the SES group (odds ratio: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.10-4.09; P = 0.64). Only 1 patient (1.1%) was complicated by aortic pseudoaneurysm. Hypertension control was achieved in 50% of the study population, with an equal distribution in the 2 study groups at the 12-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Both the BES and the SES were safe and effective in the treatment of native coarctation.

Abstract
We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with balanced double aortic arch with coarctation of the aorta presenting with symptoms of respiratory and swallowing difficulty. On investigation, the patient had a double aortic arch with coarctation and clinically nonsignificant disease in the infrarenal aorta. Division of the nondominant aortic arch was done through a left thoracotomy, along with resection of the coarctation segment and placement of an interposition Dacron tube graft.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in adolescents and adults is relatively rare. Several operative techniques have been reported, but there is no consensus. METHODS From November 1994 to July 2018, a total of 24 adolescents and adults underwent CoA repair. The mean age at operation was 29.9 ± 15.1; 19 (79%) patients were older than 18. Sixteen (67%) patients had arterial hypertension, 5 (21%) patients had bicuspid aortic valve, 4 (17%) patients had descending aneurysm, 2 (8%) patients had ascending aneurysm, 2 (8%) patients had patent ductus arteriosus and 1 (4%) patient had atrial septal defect. Three patients had prior surgery (2 CoA repair, 1 ventricular septal defect repair). RESULTS Surgical corrections included extra-anatomical bypasses in 12 (50%) patients (9: left subclavian artery to descending aorta bypass, 2 proximal-to-distal coarctation bypasses, 1 ascending-to-descending aortic bypass), end-to-end anastomosis in 6 (25%) patients, resections and interpositions of a tube graft in 5 (21%) patients and arch augmentation with a tube graft in 1 (4%) patient. The mean follow-up duration was 6.2 ± 5.1 years. No mortality was observed. No patient required reoperation or reintervention. The mean upper extremity systolic pressure significantly decreased from 142.4 ± 30.3 mmHg preoperatively to 121.1 ± 15.9 mmHg postoperatively (P = 0.002). Arterial pressure gradient between upper and lower extremities significantly decreased from 50.0 ± 21.8 mmHg preoperatively to 9.7 ± 13.5 mmHg postoperatively (P < 0.001). Among patients undergoing left subclavian artery to descending aorta bypass, 8 patients underwent ankle brachial pressure index evaluation. Postoperative mean right- and left-sided ankle brachial pressure index were 0.96 ± 0.16 and 0.94 ± 0.11, respectively. All grafts were patent at the last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS CoA repair in adolescents and adults showed good outcomes. Left subclavian artery to descending aorta bypass grafting is safe and effective for managing CoA in adolescents and adults.
