The aortic coarctation surgery has had favorable results so far and we can conclude that the program has been successful. The surgical technique has shown low mortality and complications and midterm follow-up shows low rate of recoarctation.
La ectopia cordis es una posición anómala en la cual el corazón se ubica de forma parcial o total fuera de la cavidad torácica. Su tasa de incidencia es extremadamente baja, representa el 0.5% de las cardiopatías de tipo congénito. El corazón puede ubicarse en la región cervical, torácica, abdominal o torácico-abdominal. El pronóstico a corto plazo es malo debido a las malformaciones asociadas.
