Three infants with coarctation of the thoracic aorta, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and ventricular septal defect (VSD) underwent repair of the coarctation in three different institutions. Despite a technically uncomplicated operation, each was noted to have significant paraplegia postoperatively. Retrospective analysis revealed that each patient had been hyperthermic during the time of aortic cross-clamping. It is possible that the hyperthermia, either alone or in combination with other factors, contributed to the development of paraplegia in these three infants.
三名患有胸主动脉缩窄、动脉导管未闭（PDA）和室间隔缺损（VSD）的婴儿在三个不同机构接受了胸主动脉缩窄修复术。尽管手术技术上并不复杂，但术后均出现明显截瘫。回顾性分析显示，每名患者在主动脉交叉钳夹期间均出现体温过高。体温过高单独或与其他因素共同作用，可能导致了这三名婴儿截瘫的发生。
