Recoarctation is still observed following surgical treatment of coarctation in small infants. Modifications to conventional surgical techniques are suggested to avoid this serious complication. Coarctectomy is performed. To obtain a much wider noncircumferential anastomosis, the subclavian artery is used to enlarge it either as a flap or by reimplantation. No residual pathological tissue is left behind, and this should help prevent recurrence.
