Abstract

Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital heart disease that, depending on its severity, may present with diverse symptoms, in different age ranges, from congestive heart failure, hypertension, and even major vascular complications with a high rate of associated morbidity and mortality if it does not receive timely treatment. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with coarctation of the aorta and its repair through endovascular treatment.
