A Comparison of Hemodynamic and Clinical Outcomes After Transcatheter Versus Surgical Therapy in Adults in Coarctation of Aorta.

Background null Transcatheter stent therapy provides similar acute reduction in coarctation of aorta (COA) gradient and systolic blood pressure (SBP) as compared with surgery. However, there are limited data comparing mid-term outcomes after transcatheter vs surgical therapy for COA. The purpose of this study was to compare temporal changes in Doppler COA gradient and SBP after transcatheter stent therapy versus surgical therapy for COA. null...
