Abstract
Primary repair of infants with coarctation and VSD using a one-stage approach through separate incisions affords excellent clinical results. One can avoid prolonged aortic cross-clamping, CPB, and circulatory arrest/regional perfusion. Compared with the group undergoing combined coarctation and VSD repair simultaneously by sternotomy, total lengths of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital were significantly decreased.
