Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this review are to discuss the perioperative management of coarctation of the aorta, interrupted aortic arch, and the borderline left ventricle. METHODS: MEDLINE and PubMed. CONCLUSIONS: Successful management of systemic obstructive lesions involves a thorough evaluation of the anatomy and pathophysiology to determine the most effective management strategy.
