Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Controversy exists with regard to the role of balloon angioplasty in the treatment of native aortic coarctation. Recent data and studies have showed that percutaneous balloon angioplasty is a safe and effective treatment for aortic coarctation. We report a young adult with aortic coarctation who has been treated with successful balloon angioplasty.
