Abstract
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) accounts for approximately 5-8% of all congenital heart defects. Depending on the severity of the CoA and the presence of associated cardiac lesions, the clinical presentation and age vary. Developments in diagnosis and management have improved outcomes in this patient population. Even after timely repair, it is important to regularly screen for hypertension. Patients with CoA require lifelong follow-up with a congenital heart disease specialist as these patients may develop recoarctation and complications at the repair site and remain at enhanced cardiovascular risk throughout their lifetime.
