Between 1972 and 1978, forty-six infants under six months of age underwent surgery for isolated coarctation of the aorta. These forty-six patients represent 32% of the total number of infants aged less than six months who had surgery for coarctation of the aorta during the same period. At the time of operation, 41% were aged less than one month and the youngest was five days old. The main cause for surgery was heart failure in infants under one month (14/19) and severe systemic hypertension (150 to 300 mm Hg) in the one to six month age group (18/27). Overall mortality rate in our series was 17%. Six of the eight infants who died were under one month of age. Recoarctation occurred in 31,5% of infants; in eight cases the first surgical procedure had been done before one month of age. A second procedure was necessary in four cases. Early surgical repair of severe coarctation diagnosed during the first six months of life leads to functional improvement and avoids residual hypertension. After repair, the main risk is recoarctation.
