We report a new and rare case associating an intracranial aneurysm and aortic coarctation. Based on this case and a review of the literature we discuss the clinical aspects, the pathogenesis and the management of this disorder predominantly observed in the adolescent and young adult population.

Effect of Balloon-Dilated Restenosis on Exercise Performance and Cardiac Function in Children After Coarctation Repair.
Pediatr Cardiol

Department of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital of Gent, Corneel Heymanslaan 10, 9000, Ghent, Belgium.
Restenosis occurs commonly after aortic coarctation (CoA) repair, usually requiring treatment by balloon dilation. Its effect on physical exercise performance is not documented. A retrospective analysis of exercise testing and echocardiographic assessment was performed in children after CoA repair.

Background: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a narrowing of the aorta that affects 5-8% of congenital heart defects. Treatment options include surgical repair or transcatheter management with endovascular stenting or balloon dilatation. Late complications after operative repair include systemic hypertension, aortic valve abnormalities, aortic aneurysm, and recoarctation.

Increased resting heart rate indicates high-workload hearts with augmented aortic hydraulic power in hypertensive pigs.

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.

Background: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a relatively common congenital heart defect. The underlying causes are not known, but a combination of genetic factors and abnormalities linked to embryonic development is suspected. There are only a few studies of the underlying molecular mechanisms in CoA.
