Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is one of the common congenital cardiovascular diseases. CoA can be diagnosed over a wide range of ages, with varying degrees of severity, and in various presentations. The most common presenting age of CoA is 3 - 6 months with only a small proportion of adolescents and adults diagnosed with primary aortic coarctation of the aorta. Intracranial aneurysms that undergo spontaneous rupture causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are rare in young patients with CoA. We report a 22-year-old young female successfully underwent right pterional craniotomy, clipping of aneurysm and balloon dilatation of coarctation of the aorta.

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.

Background: We hypothesized that patients with coarctation of aorta (COA) and obesity would have more advanced cardiovascular remodeling and impaired aerobic capacity compared to COA patients without obesity. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between obesity, cardiovascular remodeling, and aerobic capacity in adults with repaired COA.
Method: The study comprised of 3 groups: (1) Obese COA group (n=177) (COA patients with body mass index [BMI] >30 kg/m); (2) Non-obese COA group (n=572) (COA patients with BMI ≤30 kg/m); (3) Control group (n=59) (subjects without structural heart disease and BMI ≤30 kg/m).
Double Transposition and Physician-Modified Endografting for Complex Arch Aneurysm.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

Hybrid repair of complex aortic arch disease typically requires aortic debranching to create a proximal landing zone for completion arch endografting. Despite advances in endograft technology, physician-modified endografting may be required to customize a prosthesis for challenging anatomy. We present a case of a complex distal arch aneurysm after a prior coarctation repair with a pediatric interposition graft several decades earlier, treated with hybrid repair by double transposition for arch debranching and physician-modified arch endografting for complete aneurysm exclusion.

Purpose: To correct maternal breathing and fetal bulk motion during fetal 4D flow MRI.
Methods: A Doppler-ultrasound fetal cardiac-gated free-running 4D flow acquisition was corrected post hoc for maternal respiratory and fetal bulk motion in separate automated steps, with optional manual intervention to assess and limit fetal motion artifacts. Compressed-sensing reconstruction with a data outlier rejection algorithm was adapted from previous work.
