Abstract Background: In recent decades, aortic stenting has become a promising alternative to surgery for both native aortic coarctation and re-stenosis in children and adults. However, comparative long-term outcomes have poorly
been investigated. Methods: We included 212 patients with previous aortic repair (19 ± 8.7 years) divided
into 3 groups: 139 with single-time surgical repair (CoA-S group); 18 with single-time percutaneous stenting
(CoA-PS group); and 55 hybrid patients with multiple aortic procedures because of re-coarctation occurrence
(CoA-H group). All patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and trans-thoracic echocardiography. Results: After a median follow-up of 17 years after aortic repair, antihypertensive… More >
