简介
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of surgical, stent, and balloon angioplasty (BA) treatment of native coarctation acutely and at follow-up.
Background
Controversy surrounds the optimal treatment for native coarctation of the aorta. This is the first multicenter study evaluating acute and follow-up outcomes of these 3 treatment options in children weighing >10 kg.
