The article substantiates the urgency of the problem and shows the results of surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta in 103 patients who were operated on in the recent 5 years. The operation of choice was resection of the coarctation with the formation of an end-to-end anastomosis (90.3% of operations). Establishment of the anastomosis by methods developed at the department makes it possible to achieve good results and avoid complications in the immediate and late-term postoperative periods. An anomalous arterial branch, a reduced branch of the 5th aortic arch called Abbott's artery, was ligated in 40% of cases. No fatal outcomes occurred in the last 5 years in surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta.

This is a unique population due to the increased importance placed on returning to high levels of activity, but, by definition, they enjoy less resources and financial incentive to optimize their rehabilitation and return to sport compared with professional athletes.
