Introduction
• Vascular wall responds to hemodynamic alteration
• Hypertension induces vascular wall remodeling
• Aortic coarctation results in Bp, wall motion, wall
thickening, lesion prone Proximally
Bp, Complex wall motion, PSD, lesion resistant Distally

Summary
Coarctation-induced remodeling involves:
Wall motion - accelerating atherosclerosis
ECM gene expression & differential deposition
Tropoelastin regulation more at the PSD
A coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and cell death, governing the remodeling
