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...

complications of aortic stenting in patients below 20 years old: immediate and intermediate follow-up

background: optimal timing and mode of treatment for patients with coarctation of the aorta ( coa ) remain controversial, particularly in children. surgery, balloon dilatation, and stent implantation have all proven effective in the treatment of moderate or severe obstruction. the aim of this study was to investigate the complications of coa stenting angioplasty in pediatric patients. methods: ...

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...
