Abstract
CONCLUSIONS Coarctation of the pulmonary artery and branches is now a well recognized clinical entity. Ten cases are added to published reports. The occurrence of associated congenital cardiovascular anomalies are frequent. The presence of a continuous or an ejection systolic murmur at the base well heard over both axilla with a loud pulmonic component of the second sound, right ventricular hypertrophy and diminished pulmonary vascular markings suggest the diagnosis. Cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography are necessary to confirm the diagnosis. The condition is amenable to surgical correction.
