“…CoA is mostly located at the distal end of the origin of the left subclavian artery in the aortic arch, and it is often a limited lesion 5 . The pathological change of aortic coarctation is that the posterior wall of the aorta protrudes into the ridge-like protrusion in the aortic lumen, causing the local aortic lumen to form an eccentric stenosis, which is sunken relative to the outer wall of the aortic ridge-like protrusion.…”

A 56-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for a complain of headache with a history of one week. He had a history of hypertension for more than 30 years, but his blood pressure was not well controlled with medication. After admission, it was found that his blood pressure of the lower limbs was obvious lower than that of the upper limbs. Further chest CT examination revealed that his descending aorta was severely stenosis with calcification, which may be account for his high blood pressure in upper limbs. After careful evaluation of the patient’s condition, we finally adopted interventional therapy and achieved good results. After operation, the patient’s upper limbs blood pressure returned to normal, and the blood pressure gradient difference between the upper and lower limbs disappeared.

“…In December 2023, Backer et al published the “Recommendations for centers performing pediatric heart surgery in the United States.” 26 This seminal work provided multidisciplinary consensus recommendations for centers performing pediatric heart surgery in the United States to improve standardization and outcomes. Endorsed by 15 professional associations, including the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society (CCAS), this consensus statement updated the American Academy of Pediatrics “Guidelines for Pediatric Cardiovascular Centers” published over 20 years ago.…”
