Cardiac recovery and outcome of neonates and infants presenting with severe aortic coarctation and depressed cardiac function
Objectives: Coarctation of the aorta represents 5–8% of all congenital heart diseases. Children with severe coarctation of the aorta may present with significant depression of myocardial function. The aim of this study is to identify short and midterm outcomes of neonates and infants with isolated c...

Children with severe coarctation of the aorta may present with significant depression of myocardial function. The aim of this study is to identify short and midterm outcomes of neonates and infants with isolated coarctation of the aorta and depressed left ventricular systolic function with regard to recovery of their cardiac function. Methods: All patients with isolated coarctation of the aorta who underwent surgical repair between December 2002 and December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed in a cohort study. The patients were divided into 2 groups: (1) Patients with depressed left ventricle systolic function who were found to have an ejection fraction and fractional shortening less than 55% and 25%, respectively, (2) Patients with coarctation of the aorta and normal left ventricle systolic function (Control Group). We reviewed both groups after surgery and compared them in terms of their cardiac function recovery. Results: 58 patients were included. 25 patients (43%) depressed left ventricle systolic function group, 33 patients (57%) Control Group. There were statistically significant differences in ejection fraction and fractional shortening (p < 0.0001) between the two groups before surgery. Follow-up demonstrated improvement and recovery of ventricular function in most of the patients, six months after surgery there was no more statistical difference between the groups in terms of cardiac function. Conclusion: Majority of the patients with isolated coarctation of the aorta and depressed left ventricle systolic function showed improvement of ventricular function within 4 weeks after surgery, except for patients with residual coarctation of the aorta.
