Coarctation

Coarctation: A narrowing, a stricture, a constriction. Although the best known coarctation is of the aorta, any artery can have a coarctation. The word 'coarctation' comes from the Latin 'coartare' meaning :to press together.' The sides of the vessel at the point of a coarctation appear pressed together.
