Stent implantation for long-segment coarctation of aorta in infant with facial and mediastinal hemangioma

We report a case of an infant with an extensive hemangioma encompassing the thoracic aorta, associated with complex coarctation. Surgical approach was abandoned for fear of bleeding. The complexity of the coarctation made it unsuitable for balloon dilation. We implanted a stent with significant angi...

Zusammenfassung:	We report a case of an infant with an extensive hemangioma encompassing the thoracic aorta, associated with complex coarctation. Surgical approach was abandoned for fear of bleeding. The complexity of the coarctation made it unsuitable for balloon dilation. We implanted a stent with significant angiographic improvement and resolution of systemic hypertension.
