Balloon Dilatation and Stenting for Aortic Coarctation

Results of stenting for aortic coarctation.

E stents have been widely used in peripheral and coronary arteries, postsurgical stenosis of the pulmonary arteries, and in the superior vena cava and conduits in congenital heart diseases.1–8 Several reports support the use of balloon-expandable stents for aortic coarctation (AC) in humans.9–13 This study reports the results obtained with stent implantation in young and adult patients with AC....

Immediate and Short-term Follow-Up of Aortic Coarctation Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting

Background Aortic Coarcatation (CoA) is one of the congenital heart diseases with the rate of 5-8% of Coronary heart diseases(CHDs). Balloon angioplasty is now one of the effective way of treatment for CoA, native or Re-coarctation (Re-CoA). We aimed to assess the immediate, and short term response to angioplasty and stenting, and also complications. Materials and Methods Balloon angioplasty wi...

Native aortic coarctation stenting in patients ≥ 46 years old

Introduction Stent implantation is an effective therapy for aortic coarctation (CoA) in adolescents and adults. Aim To present a unique group of patients with native coarctation of the aorta older than or equal to 46 years treated with bare metal or covered stents. Material and methods Since 2002 we have performed stent implantations by applying bare metal stents or covered stents using fem...

Dual Arterial Access for Stenting of Aortic Coarctation in Patients with Near-Total Descending Aortic Interruption

Endovascular stenting is a recognized treatment strategy for the treatment of coarctation of aorta (COA) in adults. The aortic coarctation is usually crossed retrogradely from the descending aorta via the femoral approach. We report three patients who had near-total descending aortic interruption and underwent successful stenting of severe COA using a combined radial/brachial and femoral approa...
