Intraventricular haemodynamic changes caused by increased left ventricular afterload in re-coarctation of aorta: a case report.
Yuki ShibagakiHideharu OkaKouichi NakauSatoru TakahashiPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2023)
The use of helical flow evaluation by 4D flow MRI for aortic re-coarctation is well known in clinical practice. However, our report is the first to evaluate intraventricular blood flow before and after the re-coarctation treatment. The MRI evaluation demonstrated that the helical flow and LV blood flow distribution improved after re-coarctation treatment due to the reduction of afterload.
