Abstract

A variety of treatment options exist for aortic coarctation, both surgical and catheter-based. Knowledge of the normal radiologic appearance of these, as well as their typical complications, is essential for interpretation of CT and MR angiographic studies in these patients. CT and MR angiography are noninvasive techniques that are well suited to follow patients after coarctation repair.
