Aortic Coarctation: Recent Developments in Experimental and Computational Methods to Assess Treatments for this Simple Condition [PDF]

, 2010
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.

Predictors of aortic dilation in patients with coarctation of the aorta: evaluation with dual-source computed tomography

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2018
Background Coarctation of aorta (CoA) may progressively develop aortic dilation at other site of the aorta and can lead to fatal aortic diseases. We aimed to evaluate the occurrence of aortic dilation and related predictors in patients with CoA using ...

Echocardiography during submaximal isometric exercise in children with repaired coarctation of the aorta compared with controls [PDF]

, 2019
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 ...

Cardiac recovery and outcome of neonates and infants presenting with severe aortic coarctation and depressed cardiac function

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2018
Objectives: Coarctation of the aorta represents 5–8% of all congenital heart diseases. Children with severe coarctation of the aorta may present with significant depression of myocardial function.

Fluid-structure interaction simulation of pulse propagation in arteries : numerical pitfalls and hemodynamic impact of a local stiffening [PDF]

, 2014
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 ...

Surgical treatment for coarctation of the aorta

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Key Clinical Message Surgical treatment is a better option for coarctation of the aorta. Abstract A 56‐year‐old man was admitted to the hospital due to chest pain.

Quantification of Local Hemodynamic Alterations Caused by Virtual Implantation of Three Commercially Available Stents for the Treatment of Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2013
Patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are prone to morbidity including atherosclerotic plaque that has been shown to correlate with altered wall shear stress (WSS) in the descending thoracic aorta (dAo).

Different patterns of cerebral and muscular tissue oxygenation 10 years after coarctation repair [PDF]

, 2019
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.

Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2012
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...
