Case ReportsCoarctation of the aorta presenting in a 79-year-old male.
We present a case of coarctation of the aorta with a post-stenotic aneurysm in a 79-year-old male patient. Diagnostic studies included computed tomographic angiogram, magnetic resonance angiogram and digital subtraction angiogram. Our patient underwent operative therapy that resulted in improvement of his hypertension and cardiac function.
