• CTA is routinely ordered for infants with coarctation of the aorta; however, whether anatomical variations observed with CTA could be used to assess the severity of CoA remains unknown. • Using the diameter and area of the coarctation site adjusted to body growth as features, the LDA model achieved an accuracy of 88.6% and 90.2% in differentiating between the mild and severe CoA patients in the non-PDA group and PDA group, respectively. • The narrowest aortic diameter (CoA diameter) indexed to weight has a hazard ratio of 10.29 for re-coarctation.
