Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Aortic pseudocoarctation is a rare congenital anomaly involving aortic arch elongation and kinking.
  • Historically considered benign, recent evidence suggests potential complications, necessitating vigilant patient monitoring.

Observation:

  • This study details two recent patient cases of aortic pseudocoarctation.
  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify optimal diagnostic methods.

Findings:

  • Advanced noninvasive imaging, including transesophageal echocardiography and nuclear magnetic resonance, aids in accurate diagnosis.
  • The review aims to establish the most effective diagnostic techniques for this condition.

Implications:
