| Popis: |
This report describes a case of a young lady who, following extracardiac bypass between ascending and descending aorta for severe aortic coarctation, underwent 4-dimensional flow cardiac magnetic resonance, a technique that, by 3-dimensional flow assessment over time (4-dimensional), allows not only quantification of flows but also wall shear stress. In this case, increased wall shear stress was observed in the conduit's acute angle (kinking) as well as at the distal anastomosis level. The authors postulate that increased wall shear stress could help identify and risk stratify adult congenital heart disease who could develop vascular complications in the future.
