Coarctation John Alfred Carr A review was performed to compare the results of …

Coarctation of the aorta is an important, treatable cause of secondary hypertension. Its
prevalence varies from 5% to 8% of all congenital heart defects. This condition is most often …

Background—The Coarctation of the Aorta Stent Trial (COAST) was designed to assess the
safety and efficacy of the Cheatham Platinum stent when used in children and adults with …

Background: We report a multiinstitutional study on intermediate‐term outcome of
intravascular stenting for treatment of coarctation of the aorta using integrated arch imaging …

Aims Since the late 1980s, endovascular stents have been used in the treatment of several
vascular lesions. In the last decades, stent implantation has been proposed as a reliable …

New developments in stent technology led to the first biodegradable magnesium stents. To
overcome the fundamental restrictions of conventional stent implantation, these new stents …

Intravascular or intracardiac stenoses occur in many forms of congenital heart disease
(CHD). Therefore, the implantation of stents has become an accepted interventional …

a broad spectrum of lesions. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 60 implanted CP stents (11 …

More information is needed to clarify whether stenting is superior to balloon angioplasty (BA)
for unoperated coarctation of the aorta (CoA). From September 1997, 21 consecutive …

Stents serve a temporary purpose if they are implanted in stenoses not due to compression
