Clarifying the inceptive pathophysiology of hypertensive heart disease helps to impede the disease progression. Through coarctation of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (AA), we induced hypertension in minipigs and evaluated physiological reactions and morpho-functional changes of the heart. Moderate aortic coarctation was achieved with approximately 30 mmHg systolic pressure gradient in minipigs.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a potentially life-threatening congenital and obstructive anomaly of the distal aortic arch. After constriction of the ductus arteriosus, neonates may develop critical CoA in the isthmus area and present with severe left ventricular dysfunction or even cardiac failure. Low cardiac output and abdominal hypoperfusion (distal to the coarctation) may lead to metabolic derangements and clinical deterioration.

Article Synopsis
- Mycotic aneurysms are localized expansions of blood vessels caused by infections that weaken the vessel walls, making them serious but rare medical conditions.
- They can arise from bacteria invading healthy blood vessels or infecting existing abnormalities like aneurysms or plaques.
- The case of a four-year-old with an abdominal aortic mycotic aneurysm and pericarditis highlights the diagnostic challenges due to non-specific symptoms, along with a discussion on risk factors and treatment options.
