A 7-year-old child with native coarctation of the aorta was treated by transcatheter therapy using a 29-mm balloon-expandable stent. The procedure was successful and free of complications, and the patient was discharged home the same day. This stent has several features making it uniquely advantageous for treating this condition.

Intravascular lithotripsy-assisted intervention in patients with congenital heart disease.
J Invasive Cardiol
November 2024
Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, Washington.
Article Synopsis
- * Four patients with congenital heart conditions successfully underwent IVL-assisted procedures such as stenting and valve replacement, with no major complications reported.
- * IVL can help in the implantation and dilation of stents in severely calcified vascular conduits; however, caution is advised due to the risk of vascular injury, suggesting consideration of covered stents before extensive dilation.
Comparative Analysis of Surgical and Endovascular Approaches for Isolated Aortic Coarctation Repair across Age Groups: Outcomes and Long-Term Efficacy.
J Clin Med
September 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Ankara University, 06100 Ankara, Türkiye.
Article Synopsis
- - This study compares surgical and endovascular techniques for managing aortic coarctation, focusing on long-term outcomes like re-coarctation rates and late arterial hypertension.
- - A total of 69 patients, mostly treated electively, were analyzed; the surgical group showed significantly higher one-year freedom from reintervention compared to the endovascular group.
- - While both methods are effective, surgical repair tends to lead to better long-term outcomes, whereas endovascular repair allows for quicker recovery, suggesting the need for individualized treatment decisions based on patient factors.
The Effect of Stenting on Post-Stenotic Dilatation in Coarctation of The Aorta.
Pediatr Cardiol
October 2024
Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Schneider Children's Medical Center, Affiliated to Tel Aviv University Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Petach Tikvah, Israel.
The effect of stenting of native aortic coarctation (CoA) on post-stenotic dilatation (PSD) has not been previously described. We hypothesized that CoA stenting may lead to positive remodeling of PSD. Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent stent implantation for native CoA from 1999 to 2021 was performed.

August 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess changes in blood vessel structure and blood flow in patients with severe aortic coarctation (CoA) after stent dilation using various surgical techniques.
- Researchers created four aortic models using advanced imaging methods to analyze different stages of dilation, noting significant increases in stent diameter and changes in blood flow patterns over time.
- The findings highlighted that the risk of disturbed blood flow and endothelial cell activation in the aneurysm region increases post-dilation, emphasizing the importance of monitoring vessel expansion for long-term patient outcomes.
Prognostic implications of residual mild coarctation gradient after interventional repair.
J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich)

Department of Structural Heart Disease, National Center for Cardiovascular Disease, China & Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
There is limited data on the prognostic implications of residual mild coarctation (RMC) in patients with repaired native coarctation of the aorta (CoA). To explore the association of RMC with mid-term comorbidities in post-interventional patients, and the predictive value of the residual pressure gradient. The authors retrospectively analyzed 79 native CoA patients who received successful intervention at our hospital between October 2010 and June 2023.
