The primary outcome was the surgical repair technique (simple end-to-end repair, extended end-to-end repair, or aortic arch repair). The aortic arch raw diameter, measured by echocardiography just beyond the brachiocephalic arterial trunk, was the most discriminating parameter for the type of surgical repair technique, outperforming the existing Z-score models. Cut-off value of aortic arch diameter \u22643.6\u2005mm in children &amp;lt;1-year old was predictive of an aortic arch repair [area under the curve (95% CI) = 0.76 (0.67;0.86)]. In multivariable analysis, a pre-natal associated cardiac malformation [odd ratio (OR) (95% CI) = 4.39 (1.99; 9.69)] and aortic arch diameter \u22643.6\u2005mm [OR (95% CI) = 3.78 [1.61; 8.62)] were predictive of an aortic arch repair.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aortic arch diameter is the most discriminating parameter for the type of surgical repair technique in infant CoA.
