Implication

Retrospective analysis identifies aortic arch diameter and cardiac malformations as predictors in infants, suggesting significance for surgical intervention.

Key Points

Aortic arch diameter ≤3.6 mm accurately predicts the need for aortic arch repair in infants.
In infants with coarctation of the aorta, prenatal cardiac malformations increase the likelihood of requiring aortic arch repair.
This multicentre study involved 680 infants who underwent various surgical techniques for repairing coarctation of the aorta.
The findings highlight that measuring aortic arch diameter can inform surgical decisions in congenital heart disease management.
