Expiration induced femoral flow in neonatal coarctation of aorta.

COARCTATION OF THE AORTA Negligence in Diagnosis Four (Case- Reports).

SUMMARY: Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital heart disease consisting 7% of total congenital heart diseases. Its prevalence in men is 2 times more than that in women. This disease is associated with other congenital diseases. including aortic bicuspid valve, the linkage between two ventricles and arteriole channel It is often seen in the Turner syndrome which may lead to complications su...

Fetal Doppler Predictor of Neonatal Coarctation of the Aorta

Coarctation of the aorta (CoAo) is one of the most common congenital heart defects (CHD), accounting for approximately 7% of all live births with CHD [1]. This is the most common duct-dependent CHD missed at routine physical screening of the neonate [2]. Correct prenatal diagnosis of CoAo improves survival and reduces morbidity by allowing planned delivery in an appropriate center and early pre...

Cerebral Blood Flow in Coarctation of the Aorta.

The hemodynamics of coarctation of the aorta have been extensively investigated. These studies have shown that the renal blood flow is within normal limits (1), as in flow to the extremities (2-4), even though the circulation time to the lower parts of the body has a tendency to be prolonged (5). Although coronary blood flow has been reported to be increased (6), the data are quite scattered, a...

The Renal Blood Flow in Coarctation of the Aorta.

Coarctation of the Aorta

Coarctation of the aorta is defined by a discrete narrowing of the aorta. 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 ...
