Complications of restenosis or dilatation at the site of repair may occur late after initial repair of coarctation of the aorta (CoA). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is becoming the choice of imaging of patients after CoA. Using CMR, we studied the relation between these complications and o
