Abstract
To evaluate early and long-term results of surgical treatment of aortic coarctation (CoAo) in neonates. This is a retrospective clinical review of neonates with CoAo, who underwent surgery between 1995 and 2019. Data were retrieved from our institutional database, to identify preoperative and postoperative characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed by means of relative risk ratio and Cox and logistic multivariate analysis. 218 consecutive neonates (M/F: 129/89, median age 11 days, IQR 7-17 days) were included; 202 (92.7%) had a left thoracotomy; 178 underwent extended end-to-end anastomosis (EEEA, 81.6%). Hypoplastic aortic arch (HAA) was present in 102 patients (46.8%); complex cardiac anomalies in 85 (39%). Significant postoperative complications occurred in 20 (9.2%). Thirty-day mortality was 2.3% (most in complex types). At a median follow-up of 10.4 years (IQR 5.6-15.0 years; FU completeness 95.9%), there were 8 late deaths (3.7%), all associated to complex CoAo. Among 196 survivors, 177 (93.2%) were in NYHA class I; re-interventions on aortic arch occurred in 9.2% (2.0% were surgical). Freedom from mortality and re-intervention on aorta at 10 years were 94.3% and 96.7%, respectively. Surgical repair of CoAo in newborns without CPB in our series was safe and low-risk, with excellent early and late outcomes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
