Our results have shown that wall shear stress is eccentric and significantly increased in the ascending and horizontal aorta in patients with a “gothic” aortic arch after repair of coarctation. This suggests that patients with an angulated “gothic” aortic arch might warrant increased surveillance for aortic complications.
