Abstract

Cardiovascular abnormalities are frequently encountered in patients with Turner's syndrome. A 12-year-old girl with Turner's syndrome (TS) was referred from the endocrinology department for management of hypertension. After Echocardiography and CT angiography, we confirmed that she had severe coarctation of the aorta, just distal to the left subclavian artery. Due to high-pressure gradient in the coarct segment, in presence of hypertension, we made the decision for percutaneous intervention of coarctation of aorta.
