Abstract
Our standard technique for the Norwood operation has good results but further intervention for recoarctation is common. Size of ascending aorta and incomplete resection of coarctation tissue were risk factors for recoarctation. Complete resection of coarctation tissue may reduce the incidence of recoarctation. A small ascending aorta may predict late arch problems.
