Abstract
Coarctation of the aorta in the older child and adult can be successfully treated by percutaneous stent implantation. Although afterload will be reduced by coarctation stenting, other factors including systemic blood pressure will influence left ventricular remodeling.
Highlights
Open AccessMRI evaluation of left ventricular remodeling following stent angioplasty of native coarctation

Summary
MRI evaluation of left ventricular remodeling following stent angioplasty of native coarctation. Aim To assess left ventricular remodeling after stent angioplasty for native coarctation using serial cardiac MRI
