| description | Coarctation of the aorta is a complex systemic cardiovascular disease. The most prominent feature is the stenosis at the aortic isthmus that can be removed surgically or by catheter intervention.

Therefore, regular life-long medical follow-up is necessary including modern imaging techniques, even after successful primary treatment. |
