Abstract
There is a high rate of hypertension late after coarctation repair, even in patients with unobstructed arches. The presence of retinal imaging abnormalities and left ventricular hypertrophy signals the presence of end-organ damage in this young adult population. Regular follow-up with 24-hour BP monitoring is warranted.
