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

Atriyal Fibrilasyon İle Başvuran Aort Koarktasyonu: Olgu Sunumu

Öz

Aort koarktasyonu dikkatli fizik muayene ile bebeklik ve çocukluk çağında kolay tanı konabilen doğumsal kalp hastalıklarından biridir. Erken tanı konulamayan ve erişkin yaşa ulaşan hastalar genellikle hipertansiyon ile başvururlar. Teşhis edildiğinde koarktasyonun cerrahi veya stent ile tedavisi komplikasyonlarından korunmak için hayati önemi vardır. Atrial fibrilasyon, biküspit aort kapak, çıkan aorta anevrizması ve aort koarktasyonu olan bir hastayı sunduk.

Anahtar Kelimeler
