Immediate and midterm results of balloon angioplasty for recurrent aortic coarctation in children aged < 1 year.

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, percutaneous balloon angioplasty for recoarctation in young infants aged<1 year improved aortic isthmus diameter with a low incidence of adverse event. However, the rate of further intervention is high, and is associated with a smaller balloon size. PMID: 29030063 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
