Stenting of aortic coarctation: Acute, intermediate, and long‐term results of a prospective multi‐institutional registry—Congenital cardiovascular interventional study consortium (CCISC)

Abstract

This study documented acute, intermediate, and long-term outcome data comparable or superior with other surgical or interventional series. However, even with successful initial stent therapy, patients continue to require long-term follow-up and have associated long-term morbidity, relating to aortic wall complications, systemic hypertension, recurrent obstruction as well as need for repeat intervention.
