1. Coarctation of the aorta (coarctatio Aortae) is a common cardiovascular abnormality

2. Original Article from The New England Journal of Medicine — Ballistocardiograms in Coarctation of the Aorta — Observations before and after Operation

3. Bulbous The ascending aorta was Bulbous, but narrowed at the transverse arch and at the site of repair of the aortic coarctation

4. ‘Causes of dissection include hypertension, Marfan's syndrome, trauma, Ehler's Danlos, coarctation, Bicuspid aortic valve and relapsing polychondritis.’ ‘Incisors cut food, and cuspid and Bicuspid teeth grasp and tear food.’ ‘Persons born with a Bicuspid aortic valve are predisposed to develop aortic stenosis.’

5. ‘A score of 2 was given to fully Bicuspid dentition, while a score of 3 was given to fully tricuspid dentition, with even cusp heights.’ ‘Causes of dissection include hypertension, Marfan's syndrome, trauma, Ehler's Danlos, coarctation, Bicuspid aortic valve and relapsing polychondritis.’

6. Associated congenital anomalies were coarctation, mitral stenosis, and imperforate anus. Cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography at the age of 5 months demonstrated an inconspicuous pulmonary trunk dividing into left and right branches. There was a normal right pulmonary artery, and a main left pulmonary artery supplying the left upper lobe, lingula, and anterior segments of the left lower lobe.
