I’ve just been diagnosed with severe native coarctation of aorta at age 33 by chance following a CT scan due to a cycling accident. It has come as a complete shock as I had no symptoms and feel completely healthy.
I have been told I will have stent fitted in a few months time and have been but on BP medication in the meantime.
I’ve struggled to find consistent information online about the condition in adulthood as it’s normally detected in children.
Has anyone on the forum had any experiences of this condition, having a stent fitted and how it make effect future life and cycling?
