Case Reports

Endaortitis of Coarctation of the Aorta After Invasive Diagnostics

Accepted for publication September 28, 1996.

We report the case of a young woman in whom endaortitis developed at the site of a coarctation of the aorta after the invasive investigation of right fossa iliac pain. The organism responsible suggests a causal relationship to the investigations without antibiotic prophylaxis, and we emphasize the need for antibiotic prophylaxis in these cases. Invasive investigation of isolated coarctation in a young adult or adolescent is probably superfluous.
