A Coupled Experimental and Computational Approach to Quantify Deleterious Hemodynamics, Vascular Alterations, and Mechanisms of Long-Term Morbidity in Response to Aortic Coarctati [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is associated with morbidity despite treatment. Although mechanisms remain elusive, abnormal hemodynamics and vascular biomechanics are implicated. We present a novel approach that facilitates quantification of

The Effects of Intervention on Heart Power in Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2017
Background In aortic coarctation, current guidelines recommend reducing pressure gradients that exceed given thresholds. From a physiological standpoint this should ideally improve the energy expenditure of the heart and thus prevent long term organ ...

Prognostic implications of residual mild coarctation gradient after interventional repair

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension
There is limited data on the prognostic implications of residual mild coarctation (RMC) in patients with repaired native coarctation of the aorta (CoA).

A Case of Severe Asymptomatic Aortic Coarctation in an Adult Female

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2011
Coarctation of the aorta is typically a disease of childhood and early adulthood, and there is a reduced life expectancy in patients who have not undergone correction.

Treating a 20 mm Hg Gradient Alleviates Myocardial Hypertrophy in Experimental Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2017
Background Children with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can have a hyperdynamic and remodeled left ventricle (LV) from increased afterload. Literature from an experimental model suggests the putative 20 mm Hg blood pressure gradient (BPG) treatment ...

Impaired Poststenotic Aortic Pulsatility After Hemodynamically Ideal Coarctation Repair in Children [PDF]

, 2018
Using echocardiographic quantification of aortic pulsatility distal to the site of the surgical anastomosis, we evaluated whether the preoperatively impaired poststenotic aortic pulsatility returned to normal after repair of coarctation with a ...

Percutaneous recanalization of totally occluded coarctation of the aorta in children using Brockenbrough needle and covered stents

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2016
Percutaneous treatment of totally occluded coarctation of the aorta has been reported predominantly in adults. The success and challenges of this procedure in children is reported in few patients.

Shone’s complex

SA Heart Journal, 2017
Shone’s complex is a rare cardiac anomaly consisting of four obstructive lesions of the left heart: supramitral membrane/ring; parachute mitral valve; subaortic stenosis; and coarctation of the aorta.

Mild-aortic syndrome: a cause of recurrent abdominal pain [PDF]

, 2016
Mid-aortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare clinical entity that is characterized by coarctation involving the distal thoracic and/or abdominal aorta and its major branches accounting for 0.5–2% of all cases of coarctation of the aorta (1).
