Coarctation of aorta with complete aortic occlusion
Survival to advanced age is exceptional in patients with unrepaired aortic coarctation. We report the case of an 81-year-old man with aortic coarctation and total occlusion who was otherwise asymptomatic. Coarctation was suspected when a femoral-radial pulse delay was noted during his routine physical examination. A 70-mmHg systolic blood pressure gradient between the upper and lower extremitie...
متن کاملAtypical infrarenal aortic coarctation
A 56-year-old man presented with progressive lower extremity claudication, rest and night pain, and severe dyspnea on exertion. Past history included chronic back pain, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and obstructive sleep apnea. Cardiac catheterization was performed and showed a diminutive narrow aorta originating at the renal level and extending distally in the midline (A-D). This was ...
متن کاملAn unusual aortic coarctation.
From the time that coarctation of the aorta was first described by Morgagni in 1771 (cited by Evans, 1933) until 1944, when Crafoord and Nylin (1945) and Gross (1945) independently managed the lesion successfully by a surgical procedure, the lesion remained a curiosity which challenged the descriptive powers of anatomists and pathologists and which proved a diagnostic exercise for clinicians. T...
متن کاملMR imaging of aortic coarctation
Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the contribution of MRI as diagnostic procedure in the preoperative diagnosis of aortic coarctation (CoA), in patients with clinical and echocardiographic suspicion for this disease. Patients and methods. During the period of three years, eight patients were examined, 5 (62.5%) male and 3 (37.5%) female patients with clinical echocardiographic su...
متن کاملBalloon Angioplasty for Aortic Coarctation
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the use of endovascular intervention in managing native and recurrent aortic coarctation in adult patients. MethodsBalloon angioplasty was undertaken transfemorally in 16 patients (mean age 18.3 ± 4 years old) with arterial hypertension in 12 native and 4 recurrent aortic coarctations. Systolic pressure gradient measurements were taken peri-interve...
