OBJECTIVES: Although @entity439 formation and recoarctation after Dacron patch aortoplasty have been reported on extensively, less is known about these outcomes after @entity736 patch repair, which was compared with resection and end-to-end @entity254 in this study. METHODS: Two hundred sixty-two @entity1 had surgical repair of @entity1498 by means of either resection and end-to-end @entity254 (n = 137; mean age, 1.85 +/- 3.1 years) or @entity736 patch aortoplasty (n = 118; mean age, 1.09 +/- 1.9 years) during a 28-year period. @entity1498 was isolated in 109 (41.6%), associated with @entity1757 in 77 (29.4%), and associated with @entity154 in 76 (29.0%) @entity1 . Follow-up ranged from 2 days to 29.3 years (median, 11.9 years). Seven @entity1 were lost to follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were estimated, and multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed for several outcome variables. RESULTS: Mortality was 8.2% and was associated with intracardiac pathology in all cases. Recoarctation occurred in 53 @entity1 , 23 after resection and @entity254 and 30 after patch repair, not differing statistically (P =.4, log-rank test). @entity439 formation occurred in 8 @entity1 after patch repair that included ridge resection in 7 of the 8 @entity1 . Late @entity101 occurred in less @entity1 (n = 3) after resection and @entity254 than after patch repair (n = 8) (P <.03). @entity6127 (P <.01) and age less than 1 month (P <.001) were found to be independent risk factors for recoarctation. CONCLUSIONS: @entity736 patch repair including coarctation ridge resection was found to be a risk factor for @entity439 formation and late @entity101 . @entity6127 and young age must be considered to predispose to recoarctation.
