36.5 Conclusion

Thoracic aorta abnormalities in the neonate and young child encompass a wide spectrum of congenital defects. Surgical repair can be performed in the neonate and small infant with little mortality or morbidity. Precise anatomic detail of the specific arch abnormality and associated intracardiac lesions must be obtained prior to attempting surgical repair. Most lesions can be repaired in one stage through a thoracotomy or sternotomy. Staged repair is currently reserved for rare circumstances presenting contraindications for cardiopulmonary bypass.
