Focal narrowing of the descending aorta distal to the great vessels as visualized on this sagittal view of the aorta on CTA.

CTA and MRA can enable clear cross-sectional visualization of the aortic coarctation. One can also look for collateralization of vessels most commonly involving the subclavian artery to internal mammary artery to intercostal arteries and, then, to the aorta, distal to the coarctation. Rib notching can be seen. Treatment can surgical or balloon angioplasty.
