Balloon dilatation of coarctation of aorta is a standard of care for the patients presenting with severe left ventricular dysfunction. It can be performed through femoral, carotid, and axillary arterial access. Very few case series were available in the literature through axillary arterial access, despite being its advantage as non-end artery and easily palpable in coarctation of aorta. We present our experience with five cases of neonatal coarctation of aorta with severe left ventricular dysfunction where successful balloon dilatation of coarctation of aorta was performed via axillary approach without adverse events.

新生儿主动脉缩窄球囊扩张的腋动脉通路：病例系列

主动脉缩窄球囊扩张是严重左心室功能不全患者的标准治疗。它可以通过股动脉、颈动脉和腋动脉通路进行。文献中很少有病例系列可通过腋动脉通路获得，尽管它作为非末端动脉具有优势并且在主动脉缩窄中易于触及。我们介绍了 5 例伴有严重左心室功能障碍的新生儿主动脉缩窄的经验，其中通过腋窝方法成功进行了主动脉缩窄的球囊扩张，没有不良事件。
