A child with a coarctation of the aortic arch after the brachiocephalic artery. The narrowing (coarctation) of the aorta makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the body. This can lead to complications including not getting enough blood to the body’s organs. Babies can have weak pulses in their legs or cold legs, trouble feeding and gaining weight, rapid breathing, pale skin, and sweating.
