Abstract

The echocardiographic appearances in a case of coarctation of the aorta, first suspected at 21 weeks of intrauterine life, changed progressively during this time. Early right ventricular hypertrophy and increasing aortic arch hypoplasia were evident and suggest the possible sequence of evolution of the coarctation in this case.
