Key result
Covered stent implantation successfully resolves postpartum descending aortic coarctation in single-catheterization case.
Why the study?
Late diagnosed native coarctation of the aorta in adults, especially during pregnancy, requires effective and safe treatment options.

Does endovascular covered stent implantation successfully treat late diagnosed native coarctation of aorta in an adult?
Endovascular covered stent implantation is an easy, safe, and effective method for treating late-diagnosed coarctation of the aorta in adults.
Supports feasibility in select adult native coarctation cases; leaves open questions of durability, safety, and generalizability.
Here in we are reporting a 35-year-old pregnant, hypertensive woman with a strict descending aorta coarctation. She had two missing pregnancies which were complicated with hypertension, but which were not diagnosed for any pathologies before. We diagnosed coarctation of aorta, but however postponed her treatment after delivery of baby, because hypertension was under control with medical treatment and she had no complication. She had an uneventful delivery. MRI angiography revealed coarctation of aorta and it was successfully treated by using an endovascular covered stent during a single cardiac catheterization. Endovascular covered stent implantation is an easy, safe and effective method for treating coarctation of aorta in adults.
