Abstract | ||||
Coarctation of the aorta accounts for 6·8% of congenital heart disease, with an incidence of one in 12 000 live births [1]. Coarctation is a heterogeneous lesion with variability in the degree and site of obstruction. This anatomical variation has an embryological reflection. Up till now, there is no sufficient data regarding the effect of this anatomical component of coarctation of the aorta on the short and long term prognosis after its treatment (surgical or percutaneous angioplasty). This relationship has to be clarified. | ||||
