  • Title: [Endovascular repair for coarctation of the aorta in an adult].
    Author: Hayashi J, Abe K, Hata M, Nagano N, Hamasaki A, Suzuki K.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2013 Sep; 66(10):903-6. PubMed ID: 24008641.
    Abstract:
    A 27-year-old woman with Turner's syndrome who underwent successful endovascular treatment for coarctation of the aorta is presented. She was admitted to our hospital complaining of upper extremity hypertension. Computed tomography revealed discrete stenosis of the proximal descending aorta and developed collateral circulation. After endovascular repair with a balloon expandable stent, her transcoarctation gradient fell from 44 mmHg preoperatively to less than 10 mmHg. She was discharged with no complications on the 7th postoperative day. Coarctation of the aorta in an adult patient could be safely and effectively managed by endovascular treatment.
