Key result
Infolding of the proximal edge of covered stents used for aortic coarctation occurred in two cases, requiring management with the implantation of a second stent.

Warrants vigilance for proximal infolding with covered stents in aortic coarctation; leaves open incidence and optimal deployment strategies.
Covered stents have been used for the treatment of aortic coarctation to protect the arterial wall during dilation. Early results have shown them to be safe and effective. We report two cases of infolding of the proximal edge of a covered aortic coarctation stent. Management required implantation of a second stent. Poor stent apposition to the vessel wall and/or recoil may allow conditions for these events to occur.

Wan et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Aortic coarctation (n=2). Covered stents was evaluated on Infolding of the proximal edge of the stent. Infolding of the proximal edge of covered stents used for aortic coarctation occurred in two cases, requiring management with the implantation of a second stent.
