Additional Predictive Importance of Middle Cerebral Artery, Umbilical Artery and Heart for Coarctation of the Aorta in Fetal Ultrasound Parameters
Fetuses with CoA have significant alterations in the ultrasound parameters of MCA, intra-abdominal UA, and heart, and significant decreases in MCA RI and the ratio of LCO to fetal weight and ventricular septal defect may significantly affect CoA presence. Fetuses with these ultrasound changes at the gestational age 19-40 weeks should have further examinations for confirmation of CoA presence.
