Antenatal Diagnosis of Coarctations of the Aorta.

Completed
Conditions
Coarctation of Aorta
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Ultrasound
Registration Number
NCT03303768
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Prenatal diagnosis of coarctation is difficult because the ductus arteriosus masks the isthmus narrowing. The problem lies in the fact that it is difficult to assert in utero diagnosis and to predict severity of neonatal symptomatology. However, it is essential to try to establish the diagnosis since it has been shown that the prenatal diagnosis improves survival and reduces morbidity.
