Abstract:Endovascular stenting of native aortic coarctation has become standard treatment for children and young adults due to the shorter hospital stay and recovery time, lower procedural risk and less invasive nature. However, despite these advantages, neonatal coarctation remains a surgically treated lesion, owing to the challenges of vessel growth and stent design. Plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) of neonatal coarctation has been used as a treatment modality in the past but concern around vessel damage and aneu… Show more
