Abstrakt: One hundred clinical records of coarctation of aorta are presented with 78% catheterization and 31% postmortem examination. Surgical treatment was performed in 46%, 8, in the first month of life, 13 from 1 to 6 month, 5, from 6 to 12 month, 9 from 12 to 24 month and 11 older than 2 years. The surgical mortality was 13%. There was recoarctation in 7.5%. The mortality in the patients not operated on was 31%. This mortality was influenced by the severity of associated malformations. The most frequent associated cardiac malformations were left to right shunts followed by left heart pathology. The association with complex cardiopathies was frequent.
