Key result
Percutaneous intervention for adult aortic coarctation safely reduces peak systolic gradient to ~9 mmHg.
Why the study?
Percutaneous interventions are increasingly used in adults with coarctation of the aorta, but real-world data regarding procedural outcomes, complications, and long-term mortality remain limited.
Do percutaneous interventions improve peak systolic gradients and have acceptable safety in adult patients with coarctation of the aorta?
Population
29 adult patients with coarctation of the aorta
Comparison
Endovascular stent placement vs balloon angioplasty alone
Design
Single-center retrospective observational study

Do percutaneous interventions improve peak systolic gradients and have acceptable safety in adult patients with coarctation of the aorta?
Percutaneous interventions for adult aortic coarctation effectively reduce systolic gradients but carry a risk of rare, serious complications requiring meticulous management and lifelong follow-up.
Çetin et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Coarctation of the aorta (n=29). Percutaneous interventions was evaluated on Procedural success (residual peak systolic gradient ≤20 mmHg without major complications). Percutaneous interventions for adult coarctation of the aorta reduced the median peak systolic gradient from 57.5 mmHg to 9.0 mmHg, with a 6.9% complication rate and no in-hospital mortality.
