Abstract

A stereotypic angiospasm develops in intraorganic arteries during coarctation of the aorta, which is characterized by different functional impacts: resistance in the basin of elevated vascular pressure and pressure and bloodflow regulation in the hypotension basin. The most marked structural changes are observed in the renal and coronary arteries. Changes in the small coronary arteries are mainly due to myocardial hypertrophy, whereas in the larger ones they are caused by the increased pressure transferred from the aorta. The degree of structural changes in the larger coronary arteries is greater than in the small arteries.
