title: Surgical and endovascular repair of aortic coarctation: normal findings and appearance of complications on CT angiography and MR angiography.
abstract: 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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CT and MR angiography are noninvasive techniques that are well suited to follow patients after coarctation repair.
