Complications of aortic stenting in patients below 20 years old: immediate and intermediate follow-up




Background


Optimal timing and mode of treatment for patients with coarctation of the aorta (COA) remain controversial, particularly in children. Surgery, balloon dilatation and stent implantation have all proven effective in the treatment of moderate or severe obstruction. In this report, we describe the use of stents to treat coarctation in pediatric population.




Aim


The aim of this study is the assessment of complications of COA stenting angioplasty in pediatric patients.

Case study


This retrospective, descriptive study has performed on less than 20-year-old patients that have undergone aortic stenting angioplasty because of congenital COA in the pediatric catheterization laboratory of Rajaee Cardiovascular Medical & Research Center between 2005 and 2010.
