Balloon expandable stent implantation for native and recurrent coarctation of the aorta—prospective computed tomography assessment of stent integrity, aneurysm formation and stenosis relief

Abstract

Stenting for aortic coarctation and re-coarctation is effective with low immediate complication rates. CT is useful in the longer term for assessment of stent integrity and post-procedural aneurysm formation. Overall incidence of post-procedural aneurysm is rare and stent fractures were not seen with newer generation stents.
