Where can one learn more about the coarctation of the aorta?
The word coarctation means narrowing. Coarctation of the aorta is narrowing of the aorta to an abnormal width. Severe narrowing of the aorta may lead to deficient amounts of blood flowing to the lower heart of the body. It is a heart defect which babies are born with so it cannot be prevented. Symptoms are dizziness, shortness of breath, feeling faint and chest pain. Treatment includes angioplasty where a small balloon is threaded into the blocked artery, in this case the aorta, and the balloon is inflated to widen the lumen of the artery.
