Why the study?
Aortic coarctation is frequently misdiagnosed and commonly missed as a fetal congenital heart disease, with percutaneous treatment being primary in adulthood.
Does percutaneous treatment guided by fusion imaging improve hemodynamics and symptoms in a young adult with aortic coarctation?

Does percutaneous treatment guided by fusion imaging improve hemodynamics and symptoms in a young adult with aortic coarctation?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Percutaneous treatment of aortic coarctation in a young adult using fusion imaging is safe, effective, and allows for contrast dye sparing.
Introduction: Aortic coarctation is one of the most frequent misdiagnosed congenital heart diseases and the most commonly missed fetal congenital heart disease. In adulthood the treatment of this pathology is primarily percutaneous.
