Talk:Aortic coarctation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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)
- 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)
- 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)
