Abstract

Coarctation of the aorta is one of the more common congenital cardiac lesions. While transcatheter approaches, such as balloon angioplasty and stent implantation are often considered the primary therapeutic strategies for most patients with recoarctation, there is still considerable controversy with regard to the best therapeutic strategy for older patients with primary coarctation, mainly related to the lack of long-term outcome data. This article will highlight technical and procedural considerations for stent implantation for aortic coarctation.
