Key result
CT and MR angiography are noninvasive techniques that are well suited to follow patients after surgical or catheter-based aortic coarctation repair to assess normal findings and complications.
CT and MR angiography are effective noninvasive modalities for monitoring patients post-aortic coarctation repair for normal findings and complications.

Supports CT/MR angiography for post-coarctation repair surveillance; leaves open optimal protocols and long-term validation.
OBJECTIVE: 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. CONCLUSION: CT and MR angiography are noninvasive techniques that are well suited to follow patients after coarctation repair.

Shih et al. (2006) conducted a review in Aortic coarctation. CT and MR angiography was evaluated. CT and MR angiography are noninvasive techniques that are well suited to follow patients after surgical or catheter-based aortic coarctation repair to assess normal findings and complications.
