Abstract |
A 9-year-old boy whose past history was remarkable for a heart murmur was diagnosed with abdominal angina due to acute occlusion of a simple coarctation of the aorta. Using a single cross-clamp, we accomplished an end-to-end anastomosis after resection of the coarctation. Paradoxical hypertension and abdominal angina were treated successfully with a continuous intravenous infusion of lipo-PGE-1 and nicardipine. Three years after his operation, the patient's blood pressure was normal, with no stenosis at the site of the anastmosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 October 2007.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Cardiology
#315
of 1,540 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,465
of 147,695 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Cardiology
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,540 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 147,695 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
