Coarctation of the aorta: Management from infancy to adulthood

Figure 2 Magnetic resonance imaging of coarctation. A: Magnetic resonance image (steady-state free precession) in a sagittal projection demonstrating transverse arch hypoplasia and long segment coarctation of the aorta distal to the left subclavian artery (arrow) in a 12-year-old male; B: Three-dimensional reconstruction of a gated contrasted angiogram for the same patient, which demonstrates transverse arch hypoplasia, coarctation at the aorta at the distal transverse aortic arch and isthmus (arrow), and dilated intercostal arteries (collaterals).
