Methods: We reviewed the clinical records of pa-tients operated for coarctation of the aorta fromJanuary 1 1980 to December 31 1994. The meanfollow-up ranged from 9 to 23 years (mean 10.9 y).Final events registered were recoarctation, death,systemic hypertension, endocarditis, stroke, aneur-isms. Results: Two hundred and sixteen patientswere found with mean age 13 ± 12 y male genderwas most frequent (61%). Recoarctation was foundin 13 patients (6.02%), persistent hypertension in14.1%. Event free survival at 10 years was 86.2%.In patients less than 10 y was 89% vs 80.2% inolder patients. Hypertension free survival in pa-tients less than 10 y was 98.3% vs 80.1% in olderpatients (p < 0.001).
