    Author: Ballweg J, Liniger R, Rocchini A, Gajarski R.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2006 Oct; 68(4):648-52. PubMed ID: 16969858.
    Abstract:
    Anomalies of the abdominal aorta are rare in the pediatric population limiting the reported knowledge base from which management decisions can be made. A 3-week-old male with congenital abdominal aortic coarctation and multiple aneurysms presented with malignant hypertension. We report the safe deployment of overlapping Palmaz stents using a 4-French catheter delivery system with significant relief of the coarctation gradient and restoration of adequate renal perfusion.
