- Endovascular treatment of aortic coarctation: a case report Aquiles Tadashi Ywata de Carvalho Gibran Swami Alcoforado Silva Maria Clara Sampaio Barretto Pereira Aleksandro de Jesus Santos Vinicius Cruz Majdalane Roberto Pastor Rubeiz Roberto Augusto Caffaro Vanessa Prado dos Santos Medicina angioplasty Aortic coarctation endovascular procedures Aortic coarctation is a congenital cardiovascular malformation of high prevalence. It is characterized by a narrowing of the thoracic aorta usually just distal to the left subclavian artery. It is more common in males, with a ratio of 2 to 3:1. The clinical presentation consists of hypertension in the upper limbs and reduction of pulses in the lower limbs. The traditional treatment is open surgical repair; however, endovascular techniques have been used, with good results. We report the case of a 24-year male patient with a seven-year history of claudication of the lower limbs and difficult to treat arterial hypertension, secondary to aortic coarctation, successfully treated with angioplasty and aortic endograft. 2012 artículo científico 1677-5449 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=245023701005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2450 Jornal Vascular Brasileiro application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Angiologia e de Cirurgia Vascular Jornal Vascular Brasileiro (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.11
