3D model of coarctation of aorta. There are three types of aortic coarctations: [3] Preductal coarctation: The narrowing is proximal to the ductus arteriosus. Blood flow to the aorta that is distal to the narrowing is dependent on the ductus arteriosus; therefore severe coarctation can be life-threatening.

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.
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.
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.

Anterior view of the heart, with all great vessels labeled. Great vessels are the large vessels that bring blood to and from the heart. [1] These are: [1] [2] [3] Superior vena cava; Inferior vena cava; Pulmonary arteries; Pulmonary veins; Aorta
Classifying cardiac lesions in infants is quite difficult, and accurate diagnosis is essential. The diagnosis of Shone’s syndrome requires an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) and a cardiac catheterization procedure, that is, insertion of a device through blood vessels in the groin to the heart that helps identify heart anatomy.
