To eliminate this, we modified the surgical technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patients and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between March 2012 and May 2017, 50 patients (14 neonates) underwent repair of coarctation of aorta through a thoracotomy. The age ranged from 6 days to 2 years (median 2 months) and the weight from 1.8 to 8.0 kg (median 4.3 kg). A total of 15 patients (Group A) underwent repair by the extended end-to-end anastomosis. Among them, two patients developed early restenosis at the proximal arch requiring surgical reintervention. Hence, in the second half of the study, 35 patients (Group B) who were identified to have significant hypoplasia of the proximal arch underwent a modified end-to-side anastomosis of the descending aorta to the proximal arch incorporating the distal ascending aorta in the anastomosis and leaving the left subclavian artery end of the isthmus as an end-on vessel.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One neonate in Group B died due to a cause not related to the repair. All the other patients in Group B are doing well without a residual gradient during a median follow-up of 23 months. There were no airway issues related to extensive mobilization of the aorta.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
