Acquired Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Coarctation: Treatment with Percutaneous Self Expandable Stent
Abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. Its etiology can be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. She had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. Magnetic reso...
متن کاملPercutaneous treatment of native aortic coarctation in adults
Aortic coarctation is a common congenital cardiac defect, which can be diagnosed over a wide range of ages and with varying degrees of severity. We present two cases of patients diagnosed with aortic coarctation in adulthood. Both patients were treated by an endovascular approach. These cases demonstrate the variety of indications in which percutaneous treatment is an excellent alternative for ...
متن کاملIntravascular ultrasound guidance for stent implantation.
Stent Implantation To the Editor: The impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance for stent implantation was addressed in a recent issue of Circulation with the results of the Can Routine Ultrasound Influence Stent Expansion (CRUISE) trial.1 In addition to its primary end point, IVUS measurements of stent expansion, this study assessed the clinical benefit of IVUS guidance in routine ste...
متن کاملIntravascular ultrasound evidence for coarctation causing symptomatic renal artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND A recent study of human cadaveric renal arteries revealed that renal artery narrowing could be due not only to atherosclerotic plaque compensated for by adaptive remodeling, but also to hitherto undescribed focal narrowing of an otherwise normal renal arterial wall (ie, coarctation). The present study investigated whether vessel coarctation could be identified in patients with sympto...
متن کاملIntravascular ultrasound guidance for percutaneous coronary intervention in the current practice era
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an invasive imaging modality used to visualize coronary crosssectional anatomy. IVUS technology has been proven to be superior to coronary angio graphy for assessment of vessel size, plaque composition, calcium content and lesion severity [1–3]. The role of IVUS guidance after stent implantation has been previously explored; however, limited information is ava...
