Coarctation of aorta
A 21-years- old female came with history of uncontrolled hypertension since last 3 years. During evaluation and echocardiography, coarctation of aorta was diagnosed with mean gradient across coarctation of 60 mmhg. To delineate coarctation anatomy, 3D computerized tomography (CT) of the aorta was planned. 3D CT showed discrete area of narrowing in the aorta beyond left subclavian artery suggestive of coarctation of aorta(Figure 1, 2). Patient was planned for coarctoplasty with stent implantation. But patient refused for the intervention. Later patients discharged on antihypertensive and advised to follow-up regularly.
