Key result
Transcatheter intervention has emerged as a widely accepted alternative to surgery for managing coarctation of the aorta in adolescents and adults.
Why the study?
Rapid advancements in techniques and stent technology have driven a paradigm shift toward transcatheter interventions over surgery in adolescents and adults with native or recurrent coarctation of aorta.
Transcatheter intervention has emerged as a widely accepted alternative to surgery for the management of coarctation of the aorta in adolescents and adults.
Transcatheter CoA intervention may be considered in adolescents and adults; leaves open need for randomized comparisons to surgery.
In adolescents and adults with coarctation of aorta (CoA), whether it manifests as native CoA or recurrent CoA, transcatheter CoA intervention has emerged as widely accepted alternative to surgery. Rapid advancements in techniques and refinement of stent technology have driven a significant paradigm shift in clinical practice. This manuscript offers detailed review of the current management strategies for CoA, with particular focus on adolescents and adults. It provides updated insights into current indications for intervention, procedural tips and techniques, and addresses both immediate and long-term outcomes of CoA repair in adults. Through this comprehensive review, we aim to highlight the evolving landscape of CoA management and the benefits of modern interventional approaches.
