angioplasty alone is associated with less favorable hemodynamic results with more incidence of complications.
Significant improvement in both outcomes and avoidance of acute/intermediate complications have been observed in stent treatment of coarctation of the aorta over the past 10 years. At this time, acute and intermediate follow-up results favor stent treatment of coarctation in adults, though long-term results remain speculative.
Accurate comparisons between the stent/surgery are limited by the paucity of long-term imaging and clinical follow-up data. Further follow-up is required to determine which treatment a particular patient (and coarctation anatomy) should undergo to obtain the best results.
