Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital abnormality characterized by a narrowing of
the aortic lumen, which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Even
after repair and despite significant advances in therapeutic management, these patients
have overall reduced long-term survival due to the consequences of chronic afterload
increase. Cardiovascular imaging is key from the first diagnosis to serial follow-up. In recent

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital abnormality characterized by a narrowing of the aortic lumen, which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Even after repair and despite significant advances in therapeutic management, these patients have overall reduced long-term survival due to the consequences of chronic afterload increase. Cardiovascular imaging is key from the first diagnosis to serial follow-up. In recent years, novel imaging techniques have emerged, increasing accessibility to advanced imaging modalities and enabling early and non-invasive identification of complications after repair. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the role of different imaging techniques in the evaluation and management of patients with native or repaired CoA, highlighting their unique strengths and limitations.
