Abstract
COARCTATION of the aorta, formerly considered an interesting congenital anomaly and an academic curiosity, has become in most cases a surgically correctable disease.1 2 3 It is essential that the condition be recognized as early as possible so that operation may be carried out before changes, which preclude surgery or render it unduly hazardous, have occurred in the vessels. Certain roentgenologic findings are of great value in early diagnosis. These have become apparent as the result of more general use of contrast studies. The purpose of this investigation is to emphasize the principal signs by which coarctation may be recognized on the . . .Keywords
