Abstract
Clinical data: the patient had a good clinical course after repair of severe coarctation of the aortic isthmus with end-to-end technique, closure of the interventricular communication at 18 days of life, and relief of moderate subaortic stenosis at 3 years of age. Currently, the patient can tolerate well routine exercise, with no symptoms. At last evaluation, blood pressure in the right arm was 140/70 mmHg and the systolic pressure in the left arm and lower limbs was 90 mmHg, suggesting aortic arch obstruction. Previous evaluations have shown a pressure gradient of 15 mmHg between the upper limbs.
