Coarctation of the aorta, the Glossary

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital condition whereby the aorta is narrow, usually in the area where the ductus arteriosus (ligamentum arteriosum after regression) inserts.^[1]

Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine (21 October 179028 February 1869) was a French author, poet, and statesman who was instrumental in the foundation of the French Second Republic and the continuation of the tricolore as the flag of France.

Angioplasty

Angioplasty, also known as balloon angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure used to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins, typically to treat arterial atherosclerosis.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Angioplasty

Aorta

The aorta (aortas or aortae) is the main and largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart, branching upwards immediately after, and extending down to the abdomen, where it splits at the aortic bifurcation into two smaller arteries (the common iliac arteries).

See Coarctation of the aorta and Aorta

Aortic arch

The aortic arch, arch of the aorta, or transverse aortic arch is the part of the aorta between the ascending and descending aorta.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Aortic arch

Aortic stenosis

Aortic stenosis (AS or AoS) is the narrowing of the exit of the left ventricle of the heart (where the aorta begins), such that problems result. Coarctation of the aorta and Aortic stenosis are diseases of the aorta.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Aortic stenosis

Aortic valve

The aortic valve is a valve in the heart of humans and most other animals, located between the left ventricle and the aorta.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Aortic valve

Bicuspid aortic valve

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a form of heart disease in which two of the leaflets of the aortic valve fuse during development in the womb resulting in a two-leaflet (bicuspid) valve instead of the normal three-leaflet (tricuspid) valve. Coarctation of the aorta and Bicuspid aortic valve are diseases of the aorta.

Birth defect

A birth defect, also known as a congenital disorder, is an abnormal condition that is present at birth regardless of its cause.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Birth defect

Body surface area

In physiology and medicine, the body surface area (BSA) is the measured or calculated surface area of a human body.

Cervical rib

A cervical rib in humans is an extra rib which arises from the seventh cervical vertebra.

Clarence Crafoord

Clarence Crafoord (28 May 1899 – 25 February 1984) was a Swedish cardiovascular surgeon, best known for performing the first successful repair of aortic coarctation on 19 October 1944, one year before Robert E. Gross.

Coronary artery disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial ischemia, or simply heart disease, involves the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to build-up of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries of the heart.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Coronary artery disease

Descending aorta

In human anatomy, the descending aorta is part of the aorta, the largest artery in the body.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Descending aorta

Discretization

In applied mathematics, discretization is the process of transferring continuous functions, models, variables, and equations into discrete counterparts.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Discretization

Ductus arteriosus

The ductus arteriosus, also called the ductus Botalli, named after the Italian physiologist Leonardo Botallo, is a blood vessel in the developing fetus connecting the trunk of the pulmonary artery to the proximal descending aorta.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Ductus arteriosus

Echocardiography

Echocardiography, also known as cardiac ultrasound, is the use of ultrasound to examine the heart.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Echocardiography

Endovascular aneurysm repair

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a type of minimally-invasive endovascular surgery used to treat pathology of the aorta, most commonly an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Coarctation of the aorta and endovascular aneurysm repair are diseases of the aorta.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Endovascular aneurysm repair

Hypertension

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Hypertension

Intermittent claudication

Intermittent claudication, also known as vascular claudication, is a symptom that describes muscle pain on mild exertion (ache, cramp, numbness or sense of fatigue), classically in the calf muscle, which occurs during exercise, such as walking, and is relieved by a short period of rest.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Intermittent claudication

Interrupted aortic arch

Interrupted aortic arch is a very rare heart defect (affecting 3 per million live births) in which the aorta is not completely developed. Coarctation of the aorta and Interrupted aortic arch are diseases of the aorta.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Interrupted aortic arch

Ligamentum arteriosum

The ligamentum arteriosum (arterial ligament), also known as Botallo's ligament, Harvey's ligament, and Botallo's duct, is a small ligament attaching the aorta to the pulmonary artery.

Magnetic resonance angiography

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a group of techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to image blood vessels.

Maronites

Maronites (Al-Mawārinah; Marunoye) are a Syriac Christian ethnoreligious group native to the Eastern Mediterranean and Levant region of West Asia, whose members traditionally belong to the Maronite Church, with the largest concentration long residing near Mount Lebanon in modern Lebanon.

MRI contrast agent

MRI contrast agents are contrast agents used to improve the visibility of internal body structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

See Coarctation of the aorta and MRI contrast agent

Neurovascular bundle

A neurovascular bundle is a structure that binds nerves and veins (and in some cases arteries and lymphatics) with connective tissue so that they travel in tandem through the body.

Notching of the ribs

Notching of the ribs (or rib notching) is a radiologic sign where the surface of the rib is deformed.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Notching of the ribs

Open aortic surgery

Open aortic surgery (OAS), also known as open aortic repair (OAR), describes a technique whereby an abdominal, thoracic or retroperitoneal surgical incision is used to visualize and control the aorta for purposes of treatment, usually by the replacement of the affected segment with a prosthetic graft.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Open aortic surgery

Phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging

Phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) is a specific type of magnetic resonance imaging used primarily to determine flow velocities.

Subclavian artery

In human anatomy, the subclavian arteries are paired major arteries of the upper thorax, below the clavicle.

Turner syndrome

Turner syndrome (TS), also known as 45,X, or 45,X0, is a genetic disorder in which a person's cells have only one X chromosome or are partially missing an X chromosome (sex chromosome monosomy) leading to the complete or partial deletion of the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1, PAR2) in the affected X chromosome.

Usage (language)

The usage of a language is the ways in which its written and spoken variations are routinely employed by its speakers; that is, it refers to "the collective habits of a language's native speakers", as opposed to idealized models of how a language works (or should work) in the abstract.

See Coarctation of the aorta and Usage (language)

Ventricle (heart)

A ventricle is one of two large chambers located toward the bottom of the heart that collect and expel blood towards the peripheral beds within the body and lungs.

X-ray

X-rays (or rarely, X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
