Answer to Question 1

D
Childhood mortality has declined, but the leading cause of death in children is from unintentional injuries, usually motor vehicle accidents.

Answer to Question 2

C
Repair of a coarctation is best done between 3 and 6 years of age. Repair done earlier than that presents a high rate of recurrence. Surgery can be delayed by using an aortic balloon to open the aorta.
