Aortic Coarctation Associated with Distal Aortic Arch Hypoplasia in Neonates Can Be Effectively Repaired through Left Thoracotomy

Table 1

Choice for surgical strategy, owing to arch anatomy.

Proximal arch	Distal arch	Isthmus	Technique of repair
No hypoplasia	No hypoplasia	Long/short	EEEA
No hypoplasia	Hypoplasia	Short	EEEA
No hypoplasia	Hypoplasia	Long	Amato or EEEA
Hypoplasia	Hypoplasia	Long/short	Waldhausen
Absent	No hypoplasia	Long/short	EEEA
Absent	Hypoplasia	Long/short	Waldhausen

EEEA: Extended end-to-end anastomosis.
