ABSTRACT
Coarctation of the aorta can be managed in different ways depending upon the age of presentation, anatomical details of the coarctation, the aortic arch anatomy, and whether the coarctation is native or a recurrence following surgery. In infants, surgery is the preferred treatment of choice, whereas in older children and adults, percutaneous procedures, such as balloon angioplasty or stent implantation, are becoming increasingly popular methods for treating coarctation. Various types of stents have been used and this paper specifically addresses the use of covered or graft Jomed stents in a small group of patients with coarctation.
