Recently, we found that the paper entitled “Computational fluid dynamics in the numerical simulation analysis of end-to-side anastomosis for coarctation of the aorta” (1) published in the Vol 10, No 12 (December 2018) issue of Journal of Thoracic Disease is actually a plagiarism of “Hemodynamic Analysis of Surgical Correction for Patient-specific Aortic Coarctation with Aortic Arch Hypoplasia by End-to-side Anastomosis” published on the 2014 7th International Conference on BioMedical Engineering and Informatics. In order to correct this serious mistake, after discussion, all authors agree to retract this paper and understand and appreciate the journal’s retraction policy.
