Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) accounts for approximately 5–8% of all congenital heart
defects. Depending on the severity of the CoA and the presence of associated cardiac …

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a relatively common congenital cardiac defect often
causing few symptoms and therefore can be challenging to diagnose. The hallmark finding …

Objective The study objective was to evaluate the management of malperfusion in acute
type B aortic dissection with endovascular fenestration/stenting. Methods From 1996 to …

Background: Stent implantation (SI) is more effective than balloon angioplasty for the
treatment of coarctation of the aorta (CoA). Due to technical factors, balloon angioplasty is …

Objectives This study sought to compare the safety and efficacy of the balloon-expandable
stent (BES) and the self-expandable stent (SES) in the endovascular treatment of coarctation …

Palliative procedures are performed for congenital heart diseases that are not amenable for
definitive surgical procedures or as a component of hybrid procedures along with …

Background Invasive peak‐to‐peak pressure gradients are the current clinical reference
standard for assessing aortic coarctation. To obtain them, patients need to undergo arterial …

Aortic pathologies in general require a multidisciplinary approach and decision-making to
integrate elements of clinical acuity, vascular pathology, individual comorbidity, and risk …

Background: Balloon angioplasty for native coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is successful in
children and adults but in neonates results in frequent restenosis. The efficacy of balloon …

Background In aortic coarctation, current guidelines recommend reducing pressure
gradients that exceed given thresholds. From a physiological standpoint this should ideally …
