What's the difference between coarctate and coarctation?
Coarctate
Definition:
(a.) To press together; to crowd; to straiten; to confine closely.
(a.) To restrain; to confine.
(a.) Pressed together; closely connected; -- applied to insects having the abdomen separated from the thorax only by a constriction.
Example Sentences:
(1) Comparison of developmental series of D. merriami and T. bottae revealed that the decline of the artery in the latter species is preceded by a greater degree of arterial coarctation, or narrowing, as it passes though the developing stapes.
(2) After early repair of congenital cardiovascular defects, such as coarctation of the aorta, late stenosis may become a problem.
(3) Long prosthetic graft was anastomosed in an end-to-side fashion to bypass the coarctated aorta.
(4) Twenty-four patients had uncomplicated ventricular septal defect, 2 had single ventricle, 5 had transposition of the great arteries, 5 had atrioventricular canal defects, and 2 had coarctation of the aorta and ventricular septal defect.
(5) Acute aortic dissection, aortic aneurysm formation and aortic valve disease complicate the surgical treatment of adult coarctation and hypertension may persist in as many as 50% of patients.
(6) The diagnosis based on physical ECG and X-rays was correct in only 42% of cases, and was most accurate in children with transposition of the great arteries, syndrome of Fallot, coarctation of the aorta and ventricular septal defects.
(7) The principal long-term complication is recurrence of the coarctation resulting from the absence of growth at the anastomosis.
(8) In the seven remaining patients, coarctation was excluded.
(9) Associated lesions were coarctation (n = 2) and patent ductus arteriosus (n = 2).
(10) In the remainder a wide spectrum of abnormalities was found such as prolapse of the mitral valve (in 13.6%), bicuspid aortal valve with a medium regurgitation (4.5%), hypoplasia of the coronary cusp of the aortal valve (4.5%), dilatation of the ascending aorta with a residual significant stenosis at the site after operation of coarctation of the thoracic aorta (4.5%), subaortal defect of the interventricular septum (4.5%) and slight left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with arterial hypertension (9.1%).
(11) We report an unusual case of association of aortic coarctation with a calcified thrombus at the site of coarctation.
(12) These were estimated 1. for stepwise aortic coarctation and 2. for aortic nerve stimulation under pressure clamp conditions.
(13) Five cases of coarctation were overlooked on the prenatal echocardiogram but these were found at follow up of the infants.
(14) Through our experience and a review, we have observed that neonates requiring coarctation repair, pulmonary artery banding, and patent ductus ligation are at high risk of expiring before reaching an age at which a difficult total repair is feasible.
(15) Values were expressed as the ratio between the kidney with the lower uptake and the contralateral one in 34 patients and as the ratio of the kidney counts to the injected dose in five patients with solitary kidneys, aortic coarctation, or both.
(16) An unusual post-coarctation mycotic aortic aneurysm that had eroded into the left main stem bronchus was identified and replaced with a Dacron graft.
(17) The post-mortem examination showed a lesion of the intima and media at the coarctation site, and it seemed that the adventitia alone was what prevented rupture of the vessel.
(18) In addition, aortic disorders such as acute dissection, coarctation and atherosclerotic disease could be delineated.
(19) Few data exist which address the significance of the Doppler gradient across a residual narrowing in older children who have had a coarctation repaired.
(20) The authors studied the immediate and late-term results of surgical treatment of aortic coarctation in patients after the age of 35 years.
Coarctation
Definition:
(n.) Confinement to a narrow space.
(n.) Pressure; that which presses.
(n.) A stricture or narrowing, as of a canal, cavity, or orifice.
