Coarctation or isthmic stenosis of the aorta is defined as an abnormal obstruction situated at the junction of the aortic arch and the descending aorta near the site of ligamentus arteriosus. It is a common malformation representing 5 to 7.5% of all congenital heart diseases. Coarctation of the aorta is 2 to 3 times commoner in boys than in girls. Two clinical forms may be distinguished: asymptomatic isolated coarctation of childhood, the surgical treatment of which was first performed by Crafoord in 1944, and coarctation of the neonate and infant associated in over 2/3 of cases with other cardiovascular malformations, especially tubular hypoplasia of the aortic arch. The surgical correction of isolated coarctation is best performed between 6 months and 1 year of age in other to limit the incidence of residual hypertension. A modified Crafoord technique decreases the risk of restenosis and enables treatment of associated hypoplasia of the aortic arch in the same surgical procedure.
