[Surgical management of XXXX in the newborn infant].

@entity712 @entity101 @entity254 @entity256 @entity1498 @entity299
Between 1978 and 1983, 35 neonates with @entity1498 (from a group of 200 cases with the same pathology) underwent @entity1498 relief. Indications for operation were persistent @entity712 and/or @entity101 . Three surgical techniques were employed: Aortoplasty with prosthetic patch (politetrafluoroethylen) in 23 cases. Repair with subclavian flap in 11 cases, and resection of coarctate segment with and-to-end @entity254 in only one case. It is an important fact the high incidence of @entity299 associated with @entity1498 in neonates. There were 8 deaths (six of them with associated @entity299 , and other with miocardiophaty). There were 8 late deaths and 5 cases with @entity256 , and no @entity101 cases. All others are well in the follow-up. Some of them are waiting for definitive correction of their major @entity299 . The high risk of mortality in this group, mark again the importance of adequate medical treatment previous to surgical correction in optimal conditions and as early as possible.
