Abstract

Background: The association of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) in neonates is seriously who needs to surgery if not control heart failure by medicine in neonates. There are 2 procedures for repair includes: Two-stage repair (the repair coarctation and closure of the concomitant VSD as a secondary procedure), One-stage repair (the repair coarctation and closure of the concomitant VSD).


Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients (in neonate) undergoing repair of CoA with closure of VSD from 1/2015 to 12/2023. There were sixteens patients who underwent one-stage repair. The mean of age and body’s weight were 21 days (range from 14 days to 29 days) and 3,3 kilograms (range from 2,9 to 3,6). All patients had severe heart failure, lager VSD and gradient through aortic isthmus that was 54 mmHg.


Results:  The time of cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic clamping  and selective cerebral perfusion time were: 126 mins; 87 mins and 18 mins. There were 5 patients with open chest. One patient died at ICU by multiple organ failure and one patient with cerebral haemorrhage.  The gradient postopration of aortic arch was 7 mmHg with no residual VSD. During follow-up time 57 months after surgery, there was no late death. The mean gradient  of aortic arch was 12 mmHg and one patient with 25 mmHg


Conclusion: The results of single–stage repair for coarctation with ventricular septal defect in neonates was good  with low re-coarctation.
