Overview

Cardiac catheterization and angiography are not a necessary for making a diagnosis of coarctation of aorta. They are used in cases with inconsistent diagnosis with echocardiography. These procedures are a pre-requisite if angioplasty is planned. It is used to determine the severity, anatomy, associated cardiac defects, pressure gradient across the aorta.
