Transcatheter systolic coarctation gradient 20 mm Hg is an indication for intervention with treatment choice guided by patient age and anatomy of obstruction. Follow-up imaging should be tailored to early identification of recoarctation/aneurysm with directed intervention. Hypertension is common in the aging patient with ...
