Abstract :
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can be defined as a variable degree of narrowing of the aorta, resulting in pathologic obstruction of blood flow from the systemic ventricle to the systemic circulation. Treatment options include surgical and transcatheter interventions. Endovascular stent implantation has become an important treatment modality of native and recurrent CoA over the past two decades (1-3). We report our experience in implantation of endovascular stents in native and recurrent coarctation of the aorta.
