First diagnosis of severe coarctation of the aorta necessitating percutaneous intervention during pregnancy: a case report
Coarctation of the aorta should be considered in any young patient with arterial hypertension. Altered maternal haemodynamics during pregnancy resulted in severe symptomatic CoA and reduced placental flow necessitating percutaneous intervention during pregnancy. A multidisciplinary pregnancy heart team is essential for optimal treatment management in these high-risk patients.
