Abstract
Aortic coarctation is a congenital narrowing and stenosis in the aorta that is most frequently located near the ligamentum arteriosum and the left subclavian artery. Coarctation in adults is now usually treated with catheter intervention with good follow-up results. However there are coarctation types that are anatomically challenging for catheter intervention. Here we present a patient with an angulated aortic arch who underwent successful coarctoplasty and stenting.
