Abstract
A 22-year-old man was referred to our hospital for rib notching found on a radiograph and hypertension. Computed tomography revealed coarctation of the descending aortic isthmus. Because he refused open surgery, endovascular treatment was performed. The 2-year follow-up computed tomography scan showed infolding of the stent graft and thrombus formation. He had presented with intermittent claudication; therefore, graft interposition was performed. Endovascular surgery plays an important role in the treatment of coarctation of the aorta. However, insufficient dilatation can lead to restenosis accompanied by thrombus formation, and excess ballooning can cause aortic wall injury. Careful performance of the procedure and close postoperative follow-up are essential.
