Fig 1 Surgical technique for (A) extended end-to-end anastomosis and (B) end-to-end anastomosis. After mobilization of the aorta, the ductus arteriosus (or ligamentum arteriosum) is dissected and divided. For an extended end-to-end repair, a cross-clamp is placed across the brachiocephalic vessels and the aortic arch leaving the innominate artery (and sometimes the left carotid artery) open while a second clamp is placed on the descending thoracic aorta. The ductal tissue is excised and the incision is extended proximally and distally. A wide spatulated anastomosis is performed between the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta. For simple end-to-end anastomosis, the clamps are placed above and below the site of coarctation, the coarctation and ductal tissue are excised, and an end-to-end anastomosis is performed. (Ao = aorta; CoA = coarctation of the aorta; PDA = patent ductus arteriosus; PA: pulmonary artery.) (Reproduced with permission from Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston, TX.)
