title: [Prenatal diagnosis of aorta coarctations].
abstract: Coarctations of the aorta can be associated with severe neonatal consequences. Screening for and diagnosis of this prenatal malformation remain difficult. We review the various tools currently available to us, and their respective limits, to minimize the rate of false negatives and false positives associated with prenatal screening for this situation.
