Comparison of aortic stiffness and hypertension in repaired coarctation patients with a bicuspid versus a tricuspid aortic valve

BACKGROUND: Coarctation of the aorta (COA) is associated with reduced aortic distensibility and systemic hypertension (HTN). 60–85% of COA patients have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). It is not known if the presence of a BAV accentuates the aortopathy and HTN in CoA patients. We examined whether pat...
