Results of 83 consecutive operations for coarctation of the aorta in the paediatric age group (0-20 years), performed in our Institution between September 1971 and May 1978 are presented. Mean age at operation was 7.04 years. All patients have been divided into two groups according to age under or over one year. Group one comprises 13 cases under one year of age. There were two death (15.23%). In group two there were 70 cases with two deaths (2.85%). The main post-operative complications are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the incidence of postoperative hypertension in relation to age bracket and with this point in mind discussion is carried out on the opportunity of early operation before stable hypertension has set in.
