Abstract
We report the case of a young woman in whom endaortitis developed at t he 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, an d we emphasize the need for antibiotic prophylaxis in these cases. Inv asive investigation of isolated coarctation in a young adult or adoles cent is probably superfluous. (C) 1997 by The Society of Thoracic Surg eons.
