Coarctation of the aorta is an obstructive congenital anomaly of the aortic
lumen, which accounts for 5-7% of congenital heart diseases. Recently, because
of its fewer complications and side effects, the use of three-dimensional
computed tomography (CT) angiography has become an important method for
the diagnosis of aortic coarctation in very sick patients with no opportunity
for balloon angioplasty. Here, we present two newborns with aortic coarctation
diagnosed by CT angiography, and we review the recent literature in newborns.
