[Aortic arch shape and flow dynamics].
Post-operative deformation of the aortic arch architecture is associated with an increased risk of hypertension following correction of coarctation. In addition to morphological analysis, MRI allows a functional analysis of the thoracic aorta. We report three examples which illustrate the direct relationship between aortic arch morphology and blood flow in the thoracic aorta.
