FATE OF RIB NOTCHING AFTER CORRECTION OF AORTIC COARCTATION

CHARLES A. GOODING M.D.1, MORTON G. GLICKMAN M.D.1, and MELVIN J. SUYDAM M.D.1

The fate of rib notching after the correction of aortic coarctation has been investigated retrospectively in 18 patients. In 7 of the 18, notching regressed markedly or disappeared completely within 6 months to 1 year after surgical correction. In only 2, both in their forties at the time of operation, did the severity of the notching fail to improve. In younger patients with more rapidly growing bone, remodeling with obliteration of the notching is more rapid and more pronounced.
