Excerpt

Coarctation of the aorta is a secondary cause of hypertension. It is usually seen at the descending thoracic aorta distal to the orifice of left subclavian artery, and occasionally it may be seen proximal to the orifice of the left subclavian artery or at the abdominal aorta [1]. It constitutes 5–9% of all congenital cardiovascular defects [2]. Coarctation causes an increased afterload for the left ventricle, resulting in an increased systolic pressure in the left ventricle and upper part of the body. Treatment of aortic coarctation can be performed surgically or percutaneously. Even after successful correction, hypertension often persists due to abnormal vascular physiology [3]. …
