Abbreviations
- Pseudocoarctation of aorta (PCOA)
Synonyms
- Aortic buckling
- Aortic kinking
- Atypical coarctation
- Nonobstructive coarctation
- Redundant aortic arch
Definitions
- Aortic arch elongation with kinking of thoracic aorta distal to origin of left subclavian artery at level of ductus arteriosus
- Distinguished from coarctation of aorta (COA) by lack of hemodynamically significant stenosis
