Key result
Stenting for native coarctation of the aorta in adults reduced the mean peak systolic gradient from 46 mm Hg at baseline to 9.2 mm Hg at 3-month follow-up.
Why the study?
Stenting has emerged as the treatment of choice for adult coarctation of the aorta, but data on techniques and outcomes in Indian patients are scarcely available.
Does stenting of coarctation of the aorta improve echocardiographic gradients and clinical features in adult patients?

Does stenting of coarctation of the aorta improve echocardiographic gradients and clinical features in adult patients?
Stenting for native coarctation of the aorta in adult patients is an effective therapy that significantly reduces the trans-coarctation gradient at short-term follow-up.
Vijay et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Coarctation of the aorta (n=7). Stenting was evaluated on Mean ECHO-based follow-up gradient at 3 months. Stenting for native coarctation of the aorta in adults reduced the mean peak systolic gradient from 46 mm Hg at baseline to 9.2 mm Hg at 3-month follow-up.
