[Spontaneous regression of coarctation of the aorta in infants].
Coarctation of the aorta in neonates and small infants is, in most cases, a severe congenital malformation and requires a rapid surgical treatment or interventional catheterization. To our knowledge, and so far, no cases of coarctation of the aorta have spontaneously improved. We report three cases of coarctation diagnosed in young infants and considered as moderate forms on physical exam and/or ultrasound study which evolved to partial or complete regression without any treatment.
