Precordium
Inspection- NormalPalpation- Apex beat- left 5th ICS medial to
midclavicular line. No parasternal heave.Auscultation- S1, S2- audible.
Added sound- An ejection systolic murmur over left sternal border, more prominent over posterior interscapular region.
Other system reveals no abnormality.
Provisional diagnosis- Coarctation of aorta

LAO view- normal. ECG- normal. Echo- 2D & M mode-
LVIDd- 42mm, LVIDs-27mm, EF-62%, IVST- 10mm, PWT- 10mm, LA- 33mm, AO- 38mm, ACS- 16mm.

Echo (cont….)Description-
LA, RA, RV, PA- NormalLV- mild concentric hypertrophy. AO- dilated.IAS, IVS- intact.MV- normal in appearance.AV- Bicuspid with mild reduction in cusp separation.
A constriction suggestive of Coarctation of aorta seemed to be present distal to left subclavian artery.
Impression- 1) Coarctation of aorta2) Bicuspid aortic valve.3) Mild concentric LV hypertrophy4) Fair LV systolic function

Confirmed diagnosis
Coarctation of Aorta.
![Page 18: Coarctation of Aorta - A case report](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013121/559762151a28abf5778b46a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Surgery was done on 11/4/2007 under G/A.Incision- Left postero-lateral thoracotomy through 4 th
ICS.
Identification of coarctation (just distal to left subclavian artery).
Dissection and control of aorta proximal and distal to coarctation as well as left subclavian artery.
PDA was found distal to coarctation. Multiple ligation of PDA done (after reducing B.P with nitroprusside).
Aortotomy, excision of posterior shelf and aortoplasty was done using PTFE onlay patch.

Post operative periods
1) Uneventful
2) Hypertension was controlled by GTN.
Outcome- 1) Immediate appearance of lower limb pulses.
2) Improvement of symptoms.
3) Reduction of anti-hypertensive drug doses.
4) Reduction of brachiocephalic hypertension.
