Endovascular treatment of native aortic coarctation in adults: Two case reports and detailed review of the literature
Turkish Journal of Clinics and Laboratory(2020)
Abstract
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) forms 6-8% of congenital heart diseases (CHD). This narrowing typically occurs in the proximal descending aorta, close to the insertion of the patent ductus arteriosus and can be found with a number of concomitant diseases. CoA is a common cause of secondary arterial hypertension in young adults. Although CoA can be an isolated CHD, it is also commonly found in other congenital syndromes and cardiovascular anomalies. Herein this review paper we reported a brief history of management of aortic coarctation, and current treatment modalities concentrated on stent placement supported with two novel cases.
