Aortic coarctation accounts for 6% to 8% of all congenital heart disease 1 and occurs with an
incidence of 3 to 4 cases out of 10,000 live births with a male predominance of 2: 1. 2 It is …

Background Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) leads to increased morbidity and mortality later
in life despite early surgical or percutaneous treatment. Many long-term complications are …

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA), coarctation of the aorta (CoA), single ventricle (SV)
and tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) are forms of congenital heart disease (CHD). Despite advances …

Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects 1% of live births and is a risk factors for
cardiovascular disease and reduced life expectancy. Previous studies have suggested CHD …

First described in 1760 by the anatomist Morgagni, coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a
congenital heart defect characterized by narrowing the aorta, typically distal to the left …

Premature onset of cardiovascular disease is common in people with type 1 diabetes and is
relatively understudied in youth. Several reports in adolescents and young adults with …

Objective: Cardiovascular morbidity is high in patients with coarctation of aorta even after
successful repair. This study aimed to assess the frequency of late hypertension and the …

Background Elevated systemic afterload in patients with Fontan circulation may lead to
impaired single ventricular function. Wave intensity analysis (WIA) enables evaluation of …

Abstract Objectives and Background Coarctation of the aorta represents 5–8% of all
congenital heart disease. Although balloon expandable stents provide an established …

Background Coarctation patients before curative reconstruction are exposed to abnormal
flow patterns which potentially could cause wall deterioration. This study evaluated the effect …
