Safety and efficacy of stenting for aortic arch hypoplasia in patients with coarctation of the aorta.

CONCLUSION: This retrospective study shows that stenting of the aortic arch is successful when carried out in a state-of-the-art manner. A direct optimal angiographic and haemodynamic result was shown. No major complications occurred during or after the procedure. At short- to medium-term follow-up a decrease in mean systolic blood pressure was observed.
