Late complication rates after aortic coarctation repair in patients with or without a bicuspid aortic valve

In adults with repaired CoA, patients with CoA-BAV are more than twice as likely to require cardiovascular reintervention by early-to-mid-adult life compared with those with CoA alone. Despite this, no difference in survival outcomes was observed.
