Abstract

Coarctation of aorta is a congenital malformation relatively frequent in the population. The clinical presentation varies widely, from symptoms at birth to incidental diagnosis in adulthood. Imaging techniques allow us to assess the anatomy of the stenosis, hemodynamics, left ventricle function and hypertrophy and the presence of associated complications. Transthoracic echocardiography is the first line technique but computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance are the tests of choice for surgical evaluation of the native coarctation and to followup the repaired coarctation.
