    Author: Nomura K, Nakamura Y, Iwanaka T, Ko Y, Kawashima H, Kinouchi K.
    Journal: Jpn J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2005 Apr; 53(4):227-9. PubMed ID: 15875562.
    Abstract:
    Atypical coarctation of the lower descending or the abdominal aorta is a relatively rare disease which occurs in about 0.5 to 2% of all coarctation cases. The majority of these diseases present with circumscribed narrowing of the abdominal aorta. However, we treated a 7-year-old boy with a rare form: a long, diffuse hypoplasia of the thoracoabdominal aorta.
