Abstract:
Coarctation of aorta is a discrete narrowness of the aorta and most commonly occurs in the isthmus.It is a common congenital cardiovascular malformation with morbidity of 5％ ～ 8％ among all congenital heart defects.Coarctation can result in the increase of upper limb blood pressure,the decrease of limb blood pressure,and a decline in cardiac function.Treatments include surgical repair and percutaneous interventions with different complications.Long-term complications and heart functions are important indices for evaluating prognosis and should be closely evaluated postoperatively.This review focuses on progresses of therapy methods,postoperative complications and cardiac function.
