Hypoplasia of the aortic arch

Abstract

An aggressive surgical approach to early repair of aortic coarctation and concomitant arch hypoplasia results in considerable improvement of the long-term outcomes of surgical treatment by reducing the number of aortic re-coarctation and arterial hypertension persistence events. At present, there exist some methods of determining the degree of aortic arch hypoplasia, which allow for arch reconstruction planning. Our review focuses on the analysis of modern methods of determination of the aortic arch hypoplasia and the outcomes of surgical treatment of this disease.
