|
| |
|
| ===Chest X Ray===
| |
| Irregularities or notching of the inferior margins of the posterior ribs results from collateral flow through dilated and pulsatile intercostal arteries. These collaterals appear after 6 years of age if the coarctation is significant.
| |
|
| |
|
| Post-stenotic dilation of the aorta results in a classic 'reverse 3 sign' on [[x-ray]]. The characteristic bulging of the sign is caused by dilatation of the aorta due to an indrawing of the [[aorta|aortic wall]] at the site of [[cervical]] [[rib]] obstruction, with consequent post-stenotic dilation. This physiology results in the reversed '3' image for which the sign is named.<ref name="medstudy">{{cite book|last=Sabatine|first=Marc|title = Pocket Medicine|publisher=Lippincott Williams & Wilkins|date=February 15, 2000|pages=256 pages|isbn=0781716497}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amazon.com/dp/007146431X/|title=General Surgery ABSITE and Board Review (Pearls of Wisdom)|author=Blecha, Matthew J.|date=August 30, 2005|publisher=McGraw-Hill|isbn=978-0071464314}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amazon.com/dp/0976155273/|title=Quick Essentials: Emergency Medicine, 2nd Edition|author=Brady Pregerson|date=October 1, 2006|publisher=ED Insight Books|isbn=0976155273}}</ref>

| ===Echocardiography===
| |
| *Useful in determining associated abnormalities.
| |
|
| |
| *Weyman et al were able to visualize this area and make the diagnosis on 2D echo in 16/18 patients.
| |
|
| |
| *Confirmation by cardiac catheterization is unnecessary. Only done when the diagnosis is unclear, which is rare. It is mandatory in the infant to determine preoperative anatomy.

| ===Angiography===

| |
|
| |
| ===MRI===
| |
| Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can define the location and severity of a coarctation. MRI can also detect associated cardiac abnormalities and is used for serial follow-up after surgical repair or balloon angioplasty. MR angiography has almost completely replaced invasive catheter based techniques for evaluating re coarctation. In adults with untreated coarctation blood often reaches the lower body through collaterals, eg. internal thoracic arteries via. the subclavian arteries. Those can be seen on MR or [[angiography]].

| ==Therapy==
| |
| Therapy is conservative if the patient is asymptomatic. If symptoms or [[hypertension]] are present, treatment for coarctation may be surgical or catheter based. The treatment choice depends on the patients age, the location of the coarctation and other associated anomalies. Recoartctaion after previous surgery is treated percutaneously with either balloon dilation and/or stenting.
