Mathew, R., Simon, G., and Joseph, M. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 950. Collateral circulation in coarctation of aorta in infancy and childhood. Forty patients with coarctation of the aorta under the age of 2 years were studied, and a well-developed collateral circulation was present when the coarctation was severe and the sole lesion. In those with an associated congenital hea...

S 813 vere normochromic normocytic anemia at, or shortly after birth. Karyotyping was normal and the only other laboratory abnormality was an increased fetal hemoglobin concentration. The anemia seemed to remit somewhat with increasing age so that transfusion need was minimal. In addition, one patient may have had a response to steroid therapy.-J. B. S.

Only one surgical death occurred in those operated on after 3 months of age. The higher mortality in you...

Echocardiographic studies of abnormalities associated with coarctation of the aorta.

Echocardiograms were performed in thirty-six patients (aged 4 to 36 years) with proven coarctation of the aorta. Nineteen patients (53%) were found to have marked diastolic eccentricities of their aortic valves (Eccentricity Index greater 1.5), indicating the presence of bicuspid aortic valves. One of these patients also had multilayered aortic root echoes in diastole. Five patients had angiogr...
