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

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 ...

Palliative balloon dilation of native coarctation of the aorta in a preterm infant [PDF]
, 2005 The role of balloon dilation for native coarctation in neonates is controversial, due to the relatively high recurrence rate. Balloon dilation may however provide adequate palliation in preterm infants, by relieving symptoms and allowing somatic growth

Infective endarteritis and false mycotic aneurysm complicating aortic coarctation
Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2012 A 12-year-old boy with coarctation of aorta developed infective endarteritis and mycotic aneurysm at the site distal to coarctation. The computed tomography angiogram was very helpful in the diagnosis.

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).

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2007 Simultaneous transcatheter coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus and balloon angioplasty of coarctation of aorta is avoided since intimal tearing after angioplasty is believed to increase the risk for dissection of the aorta during catheter ...

Huge Dissected Ascending Aorta Associated with Pseudo Aneurysm and Aortic Coarctation Feridoun
Acta Medica Iranica, 2015 We report a unique case of chronic dissection of the ascending aorta complicated with huge and thrombotic pseudoaneurysm in a patient with coarctation of descending aorta.
