Coarctation: A Review
Coarctation of the aorta occurs in 0.04% of the population, and accounts for approximately 10% of lesions in adults with congenital heart disease. It can occur as an isolated lesion or as a part of a complex defect, and is most commonly associated with bicuspid aortic valve, ventricular septal defec...
