aortic coarctation
==Aortic coarctation==
Imaging of the aortic arch usually works best from the jugular (sternal supra). When evaluating a patient with a suspected coarctation always pay attention to associated anomalies such as:
Imaging of the aortic arch usually works best from the jugular (sternal supra). When evaluating a patient with a suspected coarctation always pay attention to associated anomalies such as:
- Bicuspid aortic valve
- Aortic valve stenosis
- Patent ductus arteriosus
- VSD
- Mitral valve abnormalities


Determining coarctation
*Bicuspid aortic valve
 Note instrument
*Aortic valve stenosis
Location Color doppler The origo of the carotid and subclavian artery are reference points for locating the coarctation.
*Patent ductus arteriosus
*VSD
*Mitral valve abnormalities

!Speed Profile
|Continuous wave
|Remember that collaterals systolic maximum speed but does reduce the diastolic gradient persists. In the presence of diastolic forward flow refers to a hemodynamically significant coarctation.


Continuous wave velocity profile Remember that collaterals systolic maximum speed but does reduce the diastolic gradient persists . In the presence of diastolic forward flow refers to a hemodynamically significant coarctation .
Typical CW Doppler signal from descending aorta with diastolic forward flow matching hemodynamically significant coarctation.
