Key result
In women with coarctation of the aorta, a minimum aortic arch diameter ≤13 mm was associated with a 60% cardiovascular event rate during pregnancy compared to 12% in those with a diameter >13 mm.
Why the study?
Are aortic dimensions on CMR associated with the risk of adverse pregnancy events in women with coarctation of the aorta?
Observational (n=28)
Yes
Are aortic dimensions on CMR associated with the risk of adverse pregnancy events in women with coarctation of the aorta?
This study investigates the relationship between CMR-derived aortic dimensions and adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with coarctation of the aorta.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support CMR-based risk stratification in coarctation pregnancies; leaves open need for prospective validation before guiding care.
To examine the association between aortic dimensions on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and risk of adverse events related to pregnancy in women with coarctation of the aorta (CoA).

Juan et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Coarctation of the aorta (n=28). Minimum aortic arch diameter ≤13 mm vs. Minimum aortic arch diameter >13 mm was evaluated on Cardiovascular events related to pregnancy (p=0.02). In women with coarctation of the aorta, a minimum aortic arch diameter ≤13 mm was associated with a 60% cardiovascular event rate during pregnancy compared to 12% in those with a diameter >13 mm.
