Predictors of aortic dilation in patients with coarctation of the aorta: evaluation with dual-source computed tomography

BACKGROUND: Coarctation of aorta (CoA) may progressively develop aortic dilation at other site of the aorta and can lead to fatal aortic diseases. We aimed to evaluate the occurrence of aortic dilation and related predictors in patients with CoA using dual-source computed tomography (DSCT). METHODS:...
