Key result
Isolated operative repair of coarctation of the aorta resulted in estimated survival of 91% at 10 years and 84% at 20 years, with age at initial repair being the strongest predictor of survival.

What are the long-term outcomes and predictors of survival after surgical correction of coarctation of the aorta?
Surgical repair of aortic coarctation should be performed early (by age 1 year) to optimize long-term survival, as older age at repair and higher postoperative systolic blood pressure independently predict worse survival.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Coarctation survivors warrant lifelong hypertension surveillance; leaves open optimal timing of reintervention and preventive strategies.
Cohen et al. (1989) conducted a cohort in Coarctation of the aorta (n=646). Isolated operative repair of coarctation of the aorta was evaluated on Long-term survival. Isolated operative repair of coarctation of the aorta resulted in estimated survival of 91% at 10 years and 84% at 20 years, with age at initial repair being the strongest predictor of survival.
