The aortic pressure waveforms in patients after successful aortic arch repair were recorded using a pressure sensor-mounted catheter, and the augmentation index in the ascending aorta was calculated.

Ultimately, cMRI is used extensively in the postoperative ­coarctation patient for evaluation of residual coarctation, aneurysm formation, aortic arch hypoplasia, ventricular function, left ...

In the presence of a ductal-dependent lesion such as critical coarctation of the aorta, interrupted aortic arch and isolated subclavian artery, the flow goes from the pulmonary artery to the aorta ...

Aortic coarctation is a congenital narrowing of part of the aorta, most commonly the aortic arch, usually close to the origin of the left subclavian artery. This results in high blood pressure in the ...

Angiography was performed via the right femoral access, but the guidewire could not cross the coarctation segment; therefore, right radial artery access was obtained and simultaneous antegrade and ...

The aortic arch is the portion of the main artery that bends between the ascending and descending aorta. It leaves the heart and ascends, then descends back to create the arch. The aorta ...

Aortic coarctation is a congenital narrowing of part of the aorta, most commonly the aortic arch, usually close to the origin of the left subclavian artery. This results in high blood pressure in the ...

Blunt aortic injury occurs after sudden deceleration, and it is second only to head injury as the leading cause of death after automobile crashes. Helical computed tomography of the thorax is more ...

DIVERTICULA of the aortic arch are rare congenital anomalies found as a component of vascular rings in infants. They may occur with either a right or a left aortic arch and represent persistence of ...

Background Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) has good modern results, but large multicentre longitudinal data on outcomes, especially hospital resource utilisation through childhood and adolescence, are ...
