Abstract

The paper gives the results of long-term observations by Russian and foreign specialists using ultrasound echocardiography in the diagnosis of aortic coarctation in the prenatal period. Since the diagnostic accuracy is not greater than 52% according to the specialists’ data worldwide, the author analyzes reasons for errors. The most common ultrasound changes that may be obtained by specialists in the prenatal diagnosis of aortic coarctation are presented.
