چکیده
Tinnitus is a challenging condition to manage with no effective treatment. We report a case of lifelong tinnitus present in a patient who was cured with the surgical repair of his coarctation of aorta. The patient was a fit 37-year-old with coarctation of aorta, senserineural deafness and intractable tinnitus. He underwent a thoracotomy and tube by-pass of his coarctation of aorta. A complete relief of his tinnitus and improvement in his hearing was noted postoperatively and confirmed on audiograms. This is the first reported case of tinnitus due to coarctation of aorta relieved by surgical correction of the coarctation.

Blood Flow Simulation in an Aorta with a mild coarctation Using Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Finite Volume Method
Coarctation of the aorta is one of the five main congenital cardiovascular failures, accounting for 6–8 percent of these failures. This research aimed to simulate the blood flow of a seventeen-year-old male teen with a mild coarctation at one-third of his aorta's descending branch. The simulation was performed by extracting the domain and the input pulsatile velocity signal as the boundary cond...
