Coarctoplasties for cases of Coarctation of Aorta

Coarctoplasty is a procedure used to treat coarctation of the aorta, a condition where there is a narrow or constricted area in the aorta, the main blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart. Coarctoplasty can also be used to treat aortoarteritis, which is a type of inflammatory disease affecting the aorta.

The procedure involves repairing or reconstructing the affected portion of the aorta, usually through an open-heart surgery. Coarctoplasty is typically recommended for patients who have severe coarctation of the aorta or aortoarteritis and have not responded to other treatments such as medication or lifestyle changes.

Eligibility for coarctoplasty depends on several factors including the patient's age, overall health, and the severity of their condition.
