[Results of surgical treatment of aortic coarctation in patients over 35 years of age].

The authors studied the immediate and late-term results of surgical treatment of aortic coarctation in patients after the age of 35 years. The complications in surgical treatment, arterial pressure dynamics, the causes of deterioration in the patient's condition and the mortality were analysed. The main causes of deterioration of the patients' condition in late-term periods after surgery were: residual arterial hypertension (41.2%), ischemic heart disease (39.2%), aortic and/or mitral valvular diseases (25.5%), aneurysms of the thoracic aorta (11.8%). The expediency and efficacy of surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta in patients over 35 years of age with stable regional arterial hypertension are proved.
