ABSTRACT

Coarctation of the aorta is one of the congenital heart diseases and can be diagnosed easily with a careful physical examination in infancy and childhood. Patients usually can not be diagnosed early and present with hypertension in adulthood. When coarctation is diagnosed, treatment with surgery or stenting is vital to avoid complications. We reported a patient presented with atrial fibrillation, bicuspid aortic valve, ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic coarctation.
