  • Title: Endovascular management of recurrent adult coarctation of the aorta.
    Author: Kpodonu J, Ramaiah VG, Rodriguez-Lopez JA, Diethrich EB.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2010 Nov; 90(5):1716-20. PubMed ID: 20971308.
    Abstract:
    Traditional open surgical repair has proven to be an effective treatment for the management of primary and recurrent coarctation of the thoracic aorta. Potential complications at short-term and long-term follow-up have included recurrent coarctation, hypertension, premature coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and anastomotic pseudoaneurysm. Endovascular repair of recurrent coarctation of the thoracic aorta offers a less invasive treatment approach in potential high-risk surgical patients.
