Arterial coarctation is commonly seen in aortic coarctation, mainly take medication, surgical treatment, etc.; the specific treatment program should be based on the cause of the disease and the individual’s physical condition, there is no so-called “optimal”, please follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
1. Pharmacological treatment: Intravenous sodium nitroprusside is preferred to lower the blood pressure, and at the same time to further reduce the left ventricular tension and myocardial contractility, such as intravenous application of β-blockers (e.g. metoprolol, esmolol, etc.).
2. Surgical treatment: clinically, aortic coarctation is commonly divided into two types, A and B, with type A involving the ascending aorta and type B involving only the thoracic descending aorta and its distal end; type A coarctation should be aggressively treated with surgery once discovered, and type B coarctation should also be considered for surgery, such as open thoracotomy and implantation of coated stent, etc. When patients are found to have aortic coarctation, they are advised to maintain a positive attitude and take positive actions to reduce the pressure.
Patients are advised to keep a good attitude and follow the doctor’s instructions actively.
