@entity1498 (CA) presenting in infancy is a life-threatening condition, especially if associated with intracardiac left-to-right shunts. Between 1971 and 1980, 51 @entity1 with symptomatic CA have been diagnosed and treated. @entity1757 ( @entity1757 ) was present in 18 @entity1 and @entity2461 in 24. End-to-end repair was performed in 20 @entity1 , 17 (85%) of whom were long-term survivors. Subclavian flap angioplasty repair was used in 28 @entity1 , of whom 25 (89%) were long-term survivors. During long-term follow-up 6 @entity1 (35%) who underwent end-to-end repair had recurrent CA, whereas only 3 @entity1 (12%) who underwent subclavian flap angioplasty had recurrent CA (p less than 0.05). The mortality rate in @entity1 with associated @entity1757 was higher (4 of 18, 22%). Pulmonary trunk banding with subsequent @entity1757 repair was associated with a better survival (13 of 14 @entity1 , 90%) than when banding was not performed (2 of 5 @entity1 ) (p less than 0.05). These results suggest subclavian flap angioplasty is the preferred treatment for symptomatic CA occurring in infancy. Concomitant pulmonary trunk banding in @entity1 with @entity1757 can be performed with the expectation of a lower mortality at subsequent @entity1757 repair.
