Case series reports clinical findings and low historical detection rates of aortic isthmus stenosis, highlighting challenges in ante-mortem diagnosis.

Key Points

Describe cases of aortic isthmus coarctation and evaluate historical prevalence and diagnostic patterns for this congenital vascular malformation.
Case report analysis of clinical presentations of aortic isthmus coarctation.
Review of historical hospital autopsy series (1826–1902) and published literature cohorts through 1928.
Historical post-mortem records identified 18 cases of isthmus stenosis among 22,316 autopsies (a rate of 0.8 per 1,000), with zero cases diagnosed ante mortem.
Literature review of 200 historically reported cases revealed that only 21 (10.5%) were diagnosed during the patient's lifetime.
