Why the study?
Do newborns with aortic coarctation have impaired elastic properties of the ascending aorta before and early after surgical repair compared to normal neonates?
Do newborns with aortic coarctation have impaired elastic properties of the ascending aorta before and early after surgical repair compared to normal neonates?
Impaired elastic properties of the prestenotic aorta in neonates with coarctation are present primarily and do not resolve early after successful surgical repair.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Impaired ascending aortic elasticity persists early after neonatal coarctation repair; supports primary wall abnormality but leaves open long-term implications.
Vogt et al. (2005) studied this question.
