Abstract
A 31-year-old male presented with unexplainable symptoms of heart failure including recurrent fatigue and orthopnoea after total arch replacement for type A aortic dissection 2months ago. Computed tomography angiography detected a severe intra-luminal stenosis, and we successfully implanted a balloon-expandable stent to dilate the stenosis. The patient with improved haemodynamics after endovascular reintervention remains stable at 2years. The case provides a feasible endovascular therapy for heart failure caused by post-surgery aortic coarctation.
