Balloon angioplasty of native aortic coarctation in infants 3 months of age and younger

The use of balloon dilation to treat native aortic coarctation is controversial, particularly in infants. Between January 1991 and September 1996, 12 patients ≤3 months of age with native coarctation of the aorta (CoA) underwent balloon angioplasty (BA). All 12 lesions were dilated successfully with...

Zusammenfassung:The use of balloon dilation to treat native aortic coarctation is controversial, particularly in infants. Between January 1991 and September 1996, 12 patients ≤3 months of age with native coarctation of the aorta (CoA) underwent balloon angioplasty (BA). All 12 lesions were dilated successfully with a mean reduction in peak systolic gradient from 49.3±16.5 mm Hg to 6.8±4.0 mm Hg ( p
