Sternotomy or thoracotomy for neonatal repair of coarctation of the aorta with aortic arch hypoplasia
Among patients with a distal arch z-score smaller than -3.5, the hazard of reintervention was increased for patients undergoing thoracotomy with extended end-to-end anastomosis. However, length of stay and risk of vocal cord paresis was reduced in patients undergoing thoracotomy.
