Evolving treatment strategies for aortic coarctation and late complications in teens and adults Eric E. Roselli, MD, Akshat C. Pujara, BA, Lars G. Svensson, MD,PhD, Roy K. Greenberg, MD, Larry Latson, MD
Late Coarctation Growing population More survivors of early repair Improved imaging and awareness New treatment modalities Endovascular, hybrid options Patient specific approach Anatomic variations and concomitant disease Bryant et al, J Card Surg, 2008; Kutty et al, Ann Thorac Surg, 2008
Objective Review open, hybrid, and endovascular treatment strategies and their indications for patients with late aortic coarctation or post-coarctation repair complications
Patients January 2000 to April 2009 n = 95 Aortic Coarctation Post-Repair Complications Mean Age 44 years (range 13 – 71)
