Stenting of coarctation of the aorta-"Once and for all?"

Abstract

Key Points Long term hemodynamic benefit and survival are sustained in patients undergoing stenting of coarctation of the aorta with bare metal and covered Cheatham‐Platinum (CP) stents. Reintervention and complication rates are similar with both bare metal and covered CP stents. Routine advanced imaging should be performed periodically in the long‐term to assess for stent integrity and aortic wall injury, and to guide treatment/reintervention, when necessary.
