Key result
CT angiography revealed a postductal aortic coarctation with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and a left ventricular false tendon in a preschool-aged boy.
CT angiography successfully identified postductal coarctation and concentric left ventricular hypertrophy in a pediatric patient with suspected aortic arch abnormality.
May warrant coarctation evaluation in children with LVH; leaves open clinical relevance of concurrent false tendon.
A boy of preschool age, with a suspicion of aortic arch abnormality on transthoracic echocardiography, underwent CT angiography for detailed evaluation of cardiovascular morphology. CT angiography revealed a postductal coarctation with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. Along from the left
