Here are some images and videoĀ from a 26+4 week-old fetus (according to biometry) of a 22-year-old primigravida with negative family history and uneventful course of pregnancy, with suspicion of coarctation of the aorta, which was confirmed after birth. There was also disproportion of the right to left heart which is not represented in the present images.
