Interventions for Aortic Coarctation

Cardiology in Review, 2002
The standard treatment of coarctation of the aorta is surgical. In the last 2 decades, however, treatment by catheter intervention has become more widespread, using either balloon angioplasty or primary stent implantation. Balloon angioplasty was originally used for recurrent coarctation after surgical repair but has now been shown equally effective ...

Middle Aortic Coarctation

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2014
Middle aortic coarctation (MAC), a variant of middle aortic syndrome, is a rare entity with only ∼200 cases described in the literature. It classically presents with early onset and refractory hypertension, abdominal angina, and lower extremity claudication.

Aortic coarctation: an overview

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007
In severe aortic coarctation in the neonatal period, surgical repair is required soon after clinical stabilization. Elective repair of isolated aortic coarctation is nowadays indicated at 3-6 months of life or at the time of diagnosis. At present, no single operation appears to have a clear superiority.

Aortic Coarctation: A Comprehensive Analysis of Shape, Size, and Contractility of the Fetal Heart

Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 2019
Background: An integrated assessment of the size and shape of the 4-chamber view (4-CV) and right and left ventricles (RV and LV) as well as the function of the RV and LV in fetuses with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) has not yet been conducted ...

Noonan syndrome and aortic coarctation

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1998
Congenital heart defect (CHD) is present in half of the propositi with Noonan syndrome (NS). Aortic coarctation (AC) is rarely seen in NS, since only three male patients with NS and AC have been previously reported. On the other hand, AC is common in the Ull-rich-Turner syndrome, an aneuploidy disorder and not a mendelian syndrome. In order to evaluate

Aortic Coarctation Repair in the Adult

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2014
Aortic coarctation can be repaired surgically or percutaneously. The decision should be made according to the anatomy and location of the coarctation, age of the patient, presence of other cardiac lesions, and other anatomic determinants (extensive collaterals or aortic calcification).

Coarctation of a Right Aortic Arch

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2006
Right-sided aortic arch with a concomitant coarctation is an exceedingly rare congenital cardiac anomaly. We report of a 4-year-old boy who presented with a history of a stenotic bicuspid aortic valve who upon further evaluation was found to have a coarctation of a right-sided aortic arch. The frequency with which other anomalies exist in either of the

Aortic Coarctation and Pregnancy

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1972
An 18‐year‐old primigravida was admitted in the seventh month of pregnancy with a diagnosis of pre‐eclampsia, based on a recent rise of the blood pressure up to 175/110 mmHg. Oedema and proteinuria were absent. Examination revealed absent femoral pulses and no measurable blood pressure in the lower limbs.
