Hemodynamic evaluation of coarctation of aorta using phase: Contrast magnetic resonance imaging and its comparison with echocardiographic findings evaluation of coarctation of aorta

Background: Coarctation of aorta (CoA) occurs when a small section of the aorta narrows in the luminal. CoA is one of the most popular congenital CL (cardiac lesions), and it is responsible for five to ten percent of all instances of congenital HD (heart disease). CoA can result in a variety of complications. Aims & Objectives: This research was undertaken to determine the occurrence of related CL and valvular disorders in patients with CoA. Materials and Methods: This research was carried out in the Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging (DORAI), Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) Tertiary Care Hospital, Srinagar, JK, India over a period of 2 years on patients referred from the Department of Cardiology. The patients who had been detected with CoA were given a PC-MRI to check their blood flow, and the comparison was made to the Echocardiographic study results. Results: Spin-echo (S-E) images of the level of the aortic arch (AA) as well as aortic isthmus (AI) showed narrowing in nineteen situations, according to the researchers. In eleven of the twenty situations, there was a significant amount of collateral circulation (CC). CC was significant in six out of eleven situations of serious stenosis
