Coarctation of the aorta: nonsurgical treatment using stent implantation.
INTRODUCTION Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) accounts for 5%-8% of all congenital heart defects. If left untreated, most patients with significant CoA will have varying degrees of morbidity (e.g. hypertension, stroke, collateral formation and ventricular hypertrophy), possibly even mortality. Traditionally, treatment for this condition is surgical. Herein, we report stenting during catheterisati...
متن کاملCoarctoplasty with self-expandable stent implantation for treatment of coarctation of aorta in adults.
BACKGROUND Balloon angioplasty for treatment of coarctation of the aorta in adults, though promising, is sometimes limited by significant residual gradient (> 20 mmHg). Few studies have been reported on use of balloon-expandable stents in such a situation. We evaluated the use of self-expandable stents in patients with coarctation of the aorta. METHODS Eight hypertensive patients (age 15 to 2...
متن کاملBalloon angioplasty with stent implantation in experimental coarctation of the aorta.
BACKGROUND Balloon angioplasty of coarctation of the aorta is an effective method of treatment but is complicated by tearing of the aortic intima, formation of aneurysms, and restenosis. Stent placement at the time of balloon dilation could prevent restenosis and could also prevent progression of intimal tears to aneurysms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of balloon di...
متن کاملStent implantation for aortic coarctation and recoarctation.
OBJECTIVE To determine the early results of balloon expandable stent implantation for aortic coarctation or recoarctation. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Two paediatric cardiology tertiary referral centres. PATIENTS 17 patients, median age 17 years (range 4.4 to 45) and median weight 61 kg (17 to 92). Six had native aortic coarctation and 11 had aortic recoarctation; 14 h...
متن کاملParadoxical Hypertension after Successful Cheatham Platinum Stent Implantation in an Adolescent with Coarctation of the Aorta.
Stent implantation using a Cheatham Platinum (CP) stent for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a promising treatment alternative to traditional surgical repair. However, there are no earlier reports in the literature focusing on use of this stent in a Taiwanese patient. Herein we report a 16-year-old boy with CoA presenting with heart murmur and exercise intolerance who underwent successful CP s...
