Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) [1] [2] is a congenital condition whereby the aorta is narrow, usually in the area where the ductus arteriosus (ligamentum arteriosum after regression) inserts. The word coarctation means "pressing or drawing together; narrowing".
Coarctation’s a fancy way of saying “narrowing”, so a coarctation of the aorta means a narrowing of the aorta. If we look at the heart, we’ve got the right and left atria, the right and left ventricles, the pulmonary artery leaving the right ventricle to the lungs, and the aorta leaving the left ventricle and going to to the body.
Interrupted aortic arch is a very rare heart defect (affecting 3 per million live births) [1] in which the aorta is not completely developed. There is a gap between the ascending and descending thoracic aorta. In a sense it is the complete form of a coarctation of the aorta. Almost all patients also have other cardiac anomalies, including a ...
The Bare and Covered CP Stent video shows clearly how to implant the CP Stent in the native CoArctation of the Aorta. The CP Stent is available pre-mounted on BIB catheter. The BIB Catheter allows for the controlled expansion of the CP Stent.
Aortic Aneurysm. An aortic aneurysm is when part of the main blood vessel carrying blood away from your heart bulges outward. This blood vessel is called your aorta. ... Treatment. The primary ...
An aortic coarctation is a narrowing of the aorta, which is split into infant and adult forms. In the infant form, it's often accompanied by patent ductus arteriosus, and mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood, whereas in the adult form, the ductus arteriosus has closed off. This video covers the pathphysiology for both forms, as well as ...
An aortic cross-clamp is a surgical instrument used in cardiac surgery to clamp the aorta and separate the systemic circulation from the outflow of the heart. [1] An aortic cross-clamping procedure serves, for example, in the repairing of coarctation of the aorta. In newborns, the treatment of choice for this condition is resection and primary ...
