This week we review 2 works on the topic of aortic coarctation. The first reviews outcomes of arch repair in the setting of a bovine arch and the second reviews the possible long term impact of having mild transverse arch hypoplasia after repair - a common problem afflicting many patients who have undergone coarctation repairs. Dr. Emile Bacha, Professor of Surgery at Columbia University and Dr. Ashwin Prakash, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Cardiac MRI Service at Harvard University will speak to us directly about these papers and their thoughts on this important topic. Should coarctations be approached from the front or the side? Drs. Bacha and Prakash will offer us some answers.
