Successful treatment of re-coarctation of the aorta with percutaneous stent placement via axillary artery access in a young patient
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 May 2022
Abstract
In patients with critical coarctation of the aorta, percutaneous balloon angioplasty and/or stent placement is usually performed via the femoral route. When femoral access is not suitable for intervention, the trans-axillary approach can be chosen as an alternative access. We hereby present the first case of a patient who had a successful percutaneous stent placement via trans-axillary access in our institution.
