Immediate and Short-term Follow-Up of Aortic Coarctation Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting
Authors
Abstract:
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 with our without stenting was performed for 53 patients with native or Re-coarcatation angioplasty (39 balloon angioplasty alone, and 14 balloon and stenting). Pressure gradient across the CoA segment was measured initially by Echo and pre, and Post procedure. Echocardiography was also used for follow up assessment during 24 hours, one and 6 months afterward. Results Among 53 patients, 52.8% were male. There were 98.2% native and 3.8% Re-CoA. The mean age of patients was 8.65 ± 8.37 years, and the mean weight was 25.82±20.73 kg. The mean pressure gradient acrossthe CoA site before angioplasty was 24.88±12.32, and post procedure gradient was 4.77±6.42 (p

BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY IN NATIVE AORTIC COARCTATION: RESULT S IN SHIRAZ AND REVIEW OF ARTICLES
Balloon angioplasty for aortic coarctation was introduced in 1979 for the fust time.1 This procedure soon became the choice treatment for restenosis of operated coarctation,2-5 but remains controversial for native (unoperated) coarctation. However, it seems to be rapidly becoming the intervention of choice for relief of unoperated coarctation as well. In this study, we evaluate the outcome ...

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the use of endovascular intervention in managing native and recurrent aortic coarctation in adult patients. MethodsBalloon angioplasty was undertaken transfemorally in 16 patients (mean age 18.3 ± 4 years old) with arterial hypertension in 12 native and 4 recurrent aortic coarctations. Systolic pressure gradient measurements were taken peri-interve...

OBJECTIVE This study sought to compare two strategies of revascularization in patients obtaining a good immediate angiographic result after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA): elective stenting versus optimal PTCA. A good immediate angiographic result with provisional stenting was considered to occur only if early loss in minimal luminal diameter (MLD) was documented at 30 mi...

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: ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the use of balloon angioplasty in the treatment of native adult aortic coarctation. DESIGN Haemodynamic and angiographic studies to establish the diagnosis of aortic coarctation were established before carrying out the procedure in all patients. SETTING All the studies and angiographic procedures were performed in a large district general hospital within the departments...
