Abstract:
Coarctation of the aorta (COA) is a relatively common cardiovascular congenital anomaly. It can be seen in up to 6 per 1000 live births. Rare cardiovascular anomalies have been found to be associated with COA, which may complicate management. We present a case of an adolescent male, incidentally found to be hypertensive. COA was confirmed on imaging, however, with multiple anomalies with an incidence in the general population as common as 0.4 per cent to as rare as 7 cases ever reported in the literature. The association of COA with left circumflex to coronary sinus fistula, ventricular diverticulum and persistent left superior vena cava has never been reported to our knowledge.
