Management of Coarctation of The Aorta in Adult Patients: State of The Art. Korean Circ J. 2019 Apr;49(4):298-313 Authors: Alkashkari W, Albugami S, Hijazi ZM Abstract Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a common form of congenital heart disease. Adult patients with CoA may be asymptomatic or may present with hypertension. Over the last few years, endovascular management of adult patients with CoA emerged as the preferred strategy. Stent implantation, though technically challenging, offers the best and most lasting therapy. In this paper, we will review technical considerations and outcome of patients undergoing stent implantation for CoA. PMID: 30895757 [PubMed]
