We present the case of a 38-year-old male with a diagnosis of Stanford A aortic dissection and associated coarctation of the thoracic aorta. Acute dissection associated with coarctation of the aorta is a rare problem and difficult to manage surgically ...

Echocardiography during submaximal isometric exercise in children with repaired coarctation of the aorta compared with controls [PDF]
Objective Patients with repaired coarctation (RCoA) remain at higher risk of cardiac dysfunction, initially often only detected during exercise. In this study, haemodynamics of isometric handgrip (HG) and bicycle ergometry (BE) were compared in patients ...

Aortic Coarctation: Recent Developments in Experimental and Computational Methods to Assess Treatments for this Simple Condition [PDF]
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is often considered a relatively simple disease, but long-term outcomes suggest otherwise as life expectancies are decades less than in the average population and substantial morbidity often exists.

Different transcatheter strategies for aortic coarctation associated with patent ductus arteriosus
Background: Older patients with combination of aortic coarctation and large patent ductus arteriosus can be managed with transcatheter interventions. The strategies depend on anatomy of coarctation and size of ductus arteriosus. Methods: We present three

Background: Critical coarctation of the aorta is the most common congenital heart disease with ductal-dependent systemic circulation. In severe forms, this disease represents a critical condition, which can become life-threatening.

Different patterns of cerebral and muscular tissue oxygenation 10 years after coarctation repair [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to assess whether the lower exercise tolerance in children after coarctation repair is associated with alterations in peripheral tissue oxygenation during exercise.

3.3 ASSESSMENT OF AORTIC MORPHOLOGY IN A BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE POPULATION
Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital heart disease associated with aortic wall abnormalities and co-existing with other congenital defects (e.g. aortic coarctation). This study aimed to explore aortic shape features in a BAV population,

Fluid-structure interaction simulation of pulse propagation in arteries : numerical pitfalls and hemodynamic impact of a local stiffening [PDF]
When simulating the propagation of a pressure pulse in arteries, the discretization parameters (i.e. the time step size and the grid size) need to be chosen carefully in order to avoid a decrease in amplitude of the traveling wave due to numerical ...
