Objective  To analyze the clinical outcome of one-stage repair of aortic coarctation combined with cardiac anomalies and pneumonia. Methods  We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 26 patients with severe pneumonia undergoing repair of aortic coartation between January 2014 and August 2015, among whom 7 patients (26.9%) received tracheal intubation, 5 patients double incision, and 21 patients single incision. Long-term follow-up results were obtained from outpatient department. Results  Two patients died from operations. The mean hospital stay was 18.5±4.5 d, bypass time 93.5±36.4 min, and mechanical ventilation time 89.5±41.3 min. Postoperative complication mainly was pneumonia. During 6-month follow-up at outpatient department, incidence of pneumonia decreased, and children’s growth and development remarkably improved. Conclusion  In the case of uncontrollable pneumonia, one-stage repair of aortic coarctation associated with cardiac anomalies still can receive a good outcome.
