ABSTRACT
Recanalization of a complete coarctation with isthmus occlusion was successfully accomplished in a 16-year-old patient using radiofrequency. This allowed the insertion and deployment of a covered stent to reestablish flow continuity across the isthmus. No complications were encountered. To the authors' knowledge this is the first case of radiofrequency use for complete coarctation, and among the rare cases of complete coarctation addressed primarily percutaneously to be reported.
