Abstract

|
A 16 years old Korean boy was admitted with chief complaints of exertional dyspnea, precordial pain, and headache.
His brachial and femoral arterial pressune were 180/100 mmHg and 120/95 mmHg respectively. Aortogram by Seldinger technique revealed postductal adult type coarctation and marked dilation of the poststenotic aortic portion.
With arfonad 40 mg infusion during clamping, resection of the coactation segment, and end-to-end anastomosis of the aorta maximal brachial arterial pressure was maintained below 180 mmHg.
Postopertive course was uneventful and the patient was discharged two weeks after operation. Pecordial pain and headache diasappeared.
Brachial and femoral arterial pressure were 140/180 mmHg and 110/90 mmHg at the time of discharge.
