Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Postductal aortic coarctation is a congenital defect that can present with classic manifestations such as epistaxis (nosebleeds), cyanosis of the lower extremities (from decreased blood flow), and decreased or absent femoral pulse (due to obstruction in the aorta). Tetralogy of Fallot, aortic stenosis, and ventricular septal defect may present with other symptoms such as murmur, dyspnea, and fatigue, but not the classic manifestations mentioned above.
