Coarctation of the Aorta Diagnosed in a Fetus—Are We Done yet, or Is It Still a Challenge?

Key Points

• This research aims to improve understanding and methods of diagnosing coarctation of the aorta during pregnancy.
• Analysis of indirect markers used in fetal diagnosis
• Evaluation of functional conditions affecting hemodynamics
• Integration of morphological parameters for better specificity
• Indirect markers show high false-positive rates in diagnosing coarctation of the aorta.
• Functional conditions can mimic coarctation, complicating diagnosis.
• Improved morphological evaluations enhance diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification.
