A case of a young man with secondary hypertension
The presence of multiple well-developed collaterals can often mask symptoms and delay the detection of hypertension in patients with CoA. Patients with CoA require regular follow-up to monitor left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and patients with severe CoA should be treated interventionally to prevent complications including aortic aneurysm and dissection.The patient was managed by coarctoplasty with stenting and recovered well post-surgery.
