Left ventricular remodeling after transcatheter versus surgical therapy in adults with coarctation of aorta

Background Transcatheter stent therapy is as effective as surgery in producing acute hemodynamic improvement in patients with coarctation of aorta (COA). However, left ventricular (LV) remodeling after transcatheter COA intervention has not been systematically investigated. The purpose of this study was to compare remodeling of LV structure and function after transcatheter stent therapy vs surgical therapy for COA. Methods LV remodeling was...
