Repair of Coarctation of Aorta in Adults

Abstract

The congenital cardiovascular condition Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) causes aortic narrowing that 
results in hypertension and heart failure and stroke development when medical treatment is not 
provided. A 45-year-old male received a childhood diagnosis of CoA before his development of 
progressive hypertension and chest pain and differential limb blood pressure. Advanced cardiac MRI 
and CT angiography imaging showed the patient had severe aortic constriction. Surgical treatment for 
the patient included cardiopulmonary bypass during which the surgeons removed the narrowed 
section and inserted a graft. Postoperative imaging results showed that the aortic channel remained 
open with sufficient blood circulation. Adult CoA patients benefit most from surgical intervention 
which shows excellent outcomes when combined with prompt diagnosis. Proceeding surveillance 
with modern imaging techniques must be supported by team-based medical treatment to prevent 
complications' long-term effects. Patients must receive lifelong monitoring because it guarantees both 
cardiovascular wellness and best possible health results.
