After balloon angioplasty, immediate data results were promptly recorded.Moreover, midterm echocardiographic information was collected via electronic cardiac records of pediatric wards and clinical and echocardiographic data at least 12\u00a0months after balloon angioplasty.

The median age at the time of balloon angioplasty was 1.55 (range 0.1\u201312) months and 66.7% of the patients were male. The mean pressure gradient of coarctation was 38.49\u2009\u00b1\u200924.97\u00a0mmHg, which decreased to 7.61\u2009\u00b1\u20098.00\u00a0mmHg (P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). A high-pressure balloon was used in 27, and a low-pressure balloon was used in 15 patients. COA's pressure gradient changed 30.89\u2009\u00b1\u200918.06 in the high-pressure group and 24.53\u2009\u00b1\u200920.79 in the low-pressure balloon group (P\u2009=\u20090.282). In the high-pressure balloon group, 14.81% and in the low-pressure group, 33.33% had recoarctation and need second balloon angioplasty (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.021). The infant with discrete coarctation had a higher decrease in gradient and lower recoarctation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Recoarctation rate was lower in the high-pressure balloon. The infant with discrete COA had a better response to the balloon with more decrease in gradient and lower recoarctation rate. Therefore, the stenotic segment anatomy needs to be considered in the selection of treatment methods.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12872-021-02396-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]],"date-time":"2021-12-15T11:04:41Z","timestamp":1639566281000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Effect of coarctation of aorta anatomy and balloon profile on the outcome of balloon angioplasty in infantile coarctation"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Hamid","family":"Amoozgar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Narjes","family":"Nouri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sajad","family":"Shabanpourhaghighi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neda","family":"Bagherian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nima","family":"Mehdizadegan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Reza","family":"Edraki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amir","family":"Naghshzan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hamid","family":"Mohammadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gholamhossein","family":"Ajami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashkan","family":"Abdollahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2396_CR1","first-page":"69","volume":"4","author":"A Molaei","year":"2017","unstructured":"Molaei A, Bilejani I, Zeinalzadeh A.
