Changed

[edit]

Changed from two to three types, as in the reference. It also doesn't make sense to say that one position of narrowing is usual in children and another in adults, since this in any case is a congenital defect. --Ekko 08:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I still think this is a valid argument. I therefore removed the words again. Couldn't those in favour put forward arguments? --Ekko 20:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Ekko, I agree that the adult/infantile business doesn't make any sense at all. The article on eMedicine, as well as UpToDate both state that those terms should be abandoned because they are misleading. Instead they just say, "Most coarctations are juxtaductal". But this might be more a clinical viewpoint, rather than a pathological one... frankly, I gave up trying to figure out why it's called adult vs. infantile :P Lemming 16:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the reasoning if based on when the coarctation is diagnosed. e.g. is it recognised in children, or normally in later life.Tannim101 (talk) 18:12, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be Coarctation of the aorta?

Result - moved as per MEDMOS, but other arguments have weight, so consensus may change back again in future. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:07, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be Coarctation of the aorta? That's what I knew it as...Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be a preferable title, mirroring usage that I'm familiar with. MastCell Talk 20:48, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd support the move, I've only ever heard it as the proposition. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 21:54, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why should it be "coarctation of the aorta" again?
Personally, I like brevity and simple, e.g. fibular artery over peroneal artery. "Coarctation of the aorta" seems to be a mouth full.
I remember being told when I entered med school "... the questions in medicine don't really change with time-- but the answers do." I'm thinking what you learned has been changing... Nephron  T|C 04:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting points. Brevity is good, this combination just sounds odd as I had never seen it before coming across this article. Been a while since I was in med school. No cardiologists among us, are there? Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:52, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but my memories from medical school should take preference over those "medical dictionaries" and the "Mayo clinic". :) Or not. OK, I'm fine with whatever, and I learned something. That's what you get for listening to a psychiatrist and a House watcher. :) MastCell Talk 17:37, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
MeSH prefers "aortic coarctation", but ICD-10 prefers "coarctation of aorta", so per MEDMOS, we should probably go with the latter. --Arcadian (talk) 19:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Aha, well that's that then I guess - MEDMOS via ICD-10. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:03, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stenosis of the aortic isthmus / Aortic isthmus stenosis / etc.

[edit]

If these terms are synonyms for coarctation of the aorta, then this article should mention them as such, and redirect pages should be created for them. If not, perhaps an article should be written about this. Thomas.Hedden (talk) 23:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

it isnt the same thing, but i think it would be useful for this to have its own page.Tannim101 (talk) 18:18, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
