case_images: Transthoracic echocardiography showed normal echocardiographic findings, long axis from the suprasternal notch demonstrated shelf-like narrowing of the descending aorta, diameter of the aortic arch was 10.60 mm (Figure 1), and continuous wave Doppler of the descending aorta revealed a peak velocity of 4.92 m/s and maximal systolic pressure gradient was 96 mmHg (Figure 2).
case_images: A Doppler echocardiographic gradient was 96 mmHg.

case_images: Computed tomography angiography demonstrates the postductal coarctation of the aorta. The descending aortic arch is tortuous and the diminutive left subclavian artery arises proximal to the coarctation.
