The aorta after coarctation repair – effects of calibre and curvature on arterial haemodynamics

Abstract Background Aortic shape has been proposed as an important determinant of adverse haemodynamics following coarctation repair. However, previous studies have not demonstrated a consistent relationship between shape and vascular load. In this study, 3D aortic shape was evaluated using principa...
