Complete Repair of Coarctation of the Aorta and a Ventricular Septal Defect in a Low Birth Weight Neonate / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Even though some authors have reported on the advantages of early total correction of complex heart disease, for low birth weight premature neonates, most surgeons prefer a multi-step approach to early total correction due to the many problems, such as the technical problems, the cardiopulmonary bypass management and etc. We report here on a successful case of early one-stage total repair of coarctation of the aorta and a ventricular septal defect in a 1,250 gram premature neonate.
