Prominent lymph nodes left of the aorta can indicate several potential diagnoses, including lymphoma, metastatic cancer, or infections such as tuberculosis. They may also suggest inflammatory conditions like sarcoidosis or granulomatous diseases. A thorough evaluation, including imaging and possibly biopsy, is often necessary to determine the underlying cause. Further clinical context and symptoms are essential for a more accurate diagnosis.

How often does a coarctation of aorta occur?
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a relatively common defect that accounts for 5-8% of all congenital heart defects.

The diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta may be missed unless an index of suspicion is maintained, and diagnosis is often delayed until the patient develops congestive heart failure (CHF), which is common in infants, or hypertension, which is common in older children.
