The value of chest x-ray in the diagnosis of aortic coarctation by I. Z. Korobkova, N. V. Buldakova, A. Yu. Matchina, O. V. Stukalova, S. A. Gaman

“…According to modern clinical recommendations [1, 2, 4], the methods of diagnosis of aortic coarctation are physical examination (in particular, determination of the gradient of blood pressure on the arms and legs [5]), ECHO-KG, CT and MRI.CT and MRI are methods of clarifying diagnostics that allow to verify the defect and determine its morphological features. However, classical radiography in older patients with isolated aortic coarctation in the vast majority of cases has such characteristic signs that it allows you to suspect a defect from an overview image in a direct projection.The purpose of this report is to draw attention to the possibilities of classical X–ray examination in detecting aortic coarctation in adults. …”
