Paradoxical hypertension after repair of coarctation of the aorta in children: balloon angioplasty versus surgical repair.
The incidence and possible causes of paradoxical hypertension were evaluated in eight children who underwent balloon dilatation and seven children who underwent surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta. Both procedures resulted in a significant reduction in the coarctation gradient. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures increased in the surgical group after repair, whereas systolic pre...

متن کاملIsolated chylopericardium after cardiac surgery.
Chylopericardium is a rare complication of cardiac surgery. It may be caused by a lesion in the thoracic duct or its tributaries or by thrombosis in the confluence of the jugular and left subclavian veins, obstructing the drainage of the thoracic duct. The treatment may be conservative or surgical, depending on the duration and on the volume of the effusion. We report the case of a 24-year-old ...
متن کاملVascular dysfunction after repair of coarctation of the aorta: impact of early surgery.
BACKGROUND Patients with repaired coarctation are at increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease despite successful repair. We studied the function of conduit arteries in upper and lower limbs of patients late after successful coarctation repair and its relation to age at surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and the dilatation after sublingual nitroglyceri...
متن کاملCoarctation of the Aorta
Coarctation of the aorta is defined by a discrete narrowing of the aorta. Transcatheter systolic coarctation gradient 20 mm Hg is an indication for intervention with treatment choice guided by patient age and anatomy of obstruction. Follow-up imaging should be tailored to early identification of recoarctation/aneurysm with directed intervention. Hypertension is common in the aging patient with ...
