Labeled and flipped to show:

  1. RV - Right Ventricle (trabeculated)
  2. Ao - Aorta proximal to coarctation
  3. DA - Descending aorta distal to coartation
  4. PV - Pulmonary veins
  5. Arrowheads - coarctation
  6. Arrows - enlarged intercostal arteries that are collaterals to perfuse distal aorta
