three-dimensional printed models (Fig. 26.3, Video 26.1). Such imaging can be particularly help­ful to allow structural visualization and interventional planning.
The site of coarctation, severity, proximity to other vascular structures such as subclavian or carotid vessels, and the presence of arch hypoplasia are all anatomic features which will determine the interventional procedure. When the coarctation involves the origin of the left subclavian ar­tery, some have suggested minor surgical transfer of the subclavian to the left carotid would preclude concerns for obstruction of the subclavian.
Published reports of multicenter study of coarctation intervention results have indicated that age, severity of coarctation, and presence of previously surgical intervention or vascular injury (an­eurysm) would significantly affect decision-making concerning the type of procedure and type of stent to be considered. They defined a discrete coarctation anatomically as a stenosis #
5 mm and aortic aneurysm as a 10% increase in the aortic dimension from the adjoining aortic lumen. In particular, they noted that the risk of encountering a technical complication increased in patients over the age of 40 years.

. Thus the use of covered stents would be an important technical consid-
eration for the older population of patients.

Workup for Transcatheter Intervention
Prior to catheter intervention, 3D rotational angiography has been particularly helpful to define the anatomy of the coarctation site, its length, and severity. Fig. 26.4 and Video 26.2 illustrates a 3D rotational angiography obtained during catheterization. These images assist the interventionist to better understand the location, length, and severity of the coarctation, which in this example is a more diffuse lesion over several centimeters. In addition, some arch hypoplasia is evident. He­modynamic study prior to intervention also represents a significant part of the assessment docu­menting gradient and LVEDP. Studies have defined significant resting coarctation gradient as
20 mmHg. In addition, LVEDP 12 mmHg is supportive in recognizing significant long-term
coarctation hemodynamic effects.
Interventional Techniques
During intervention, initial wire placement may provide better stability by placing the wire in the opposite subclavian artery. A simple juxtaductal coarctation that is distant from the arch and is approximately a 50% stenosis is demonstrated in Fig. 26.5 in a teenage patient with associated bicuspid aortic valve. The coarctation had been balloon dilated 6 years previously. The obstruction and gradient were completely eliminated with placement of a 36-mm bare metal stent dilated to approximately 16 mm. For a larger patient, subsequent stent redilation may be necessary to accom­modate further growth. With native coarctation, a bare metal stent can be considered when com­plete dilation of the coarctation site may be limited by the dilation pressure necessary. Some inves­tigators have considered 6 atms a reasonable pressure limit for initial dilation to avoid significant aortic wall injury.

Procedural Steps
Trancatheter aortic coarctation repair may require general anesthesia for hemodynamic stability and because of significant pain associated with aortic dilation. Femoral arterial access is estab­lished with ultrasound guidance. Patients are heparinized with 100units/kg, aiming for an ACT.250s.
The sheath size is determined by the anticipated final diameter to be achieved with the stent dilation; however, a 14 Fr sheath may be reasonable in instances where a covered stent may be necessary.

Fig. 26.6 Depending on the anatomy and severity of the
aortic coarctation, we select a pigtail (for less severe
stenosis) or multipurpose or JR4 6F catheter and an
0,035” angle glide wire to cross the coarcted segment.
This is advanced into the aortic root.

is performed to accurately delinate the aortic anatomy.
The left ventricular pressure is recorded. A simultaneous
gradient across the coarctation can be measured using
the pigtail catheter in the ascending aorta and the sheath
in the descending aorta.
Fig. 26.8 A stiff exchange wire (e.g., Amplatzer extra
stiff) is inserted. During intervention, initial wire place-
ment may provide better stability by placing the wire in
the opposite subclavian artery. If the stenosis is severe,
predilation may be required before the sheath and stent
can be advanced through the coarcted segment.

Fig. 26.9 A long Mullin’s type sheath is advanced across the coarctation. This is used to deliver the
stent.
Fig. 26.10 The stent is carefully placed across the coarctation. Multiple small hand injections during un-
sheathing of the stent may be necessary to accurately adjust the stent position prior to deployment. Often a BIB type balloon delivery system (NuMED Inc., New York) is utilized to deploy the balloon in the coarcted segment. The BIB balloon most often is rated at 4–5 atms for dilation. A variety of stents can be considered for stent placement, including the Cordis Palmaz, EV3 Instrastent LD Max, or the Cheatham Platinum covered stent. Higher-pressure balloons can be considered for postdilation, especially if a covered stent has to be utilized. If some segments of the stent remain poorly configured with the aortic wall, these stent segments may be flared to approximate the wall with lower pressure and larger balloons. Rapid ventricular pac­ing is often employed to assist appropriate stent delivery by reducing cardiac output and stroke volume during stent deployment. Also holding the ventilation during deploy­ment may help to reduce stent movement.
Fig. 26.11 Once the stent is deployed, the pigtail catheter can be readvanced over the exchange wire and positioned in the aortic root to measure pres­sure and assess for any residual gradient. If a residual
gradient exists, postdilatation may be performed or a determination may be made to wait several months for a safer further dilation later.

More complex coarctation is illustrated in Fig. 26.12. The patient is a 21-year-old male with biscuspid aortic valve and previously coarctation surgical repair at age 1 week. His hemodynamic cath demonstrates a 50 mmHg gradient primarily evident in the mid arch distal to the left carotid artery. The transverse aortic arch was 15-18 mm in diameter while the area of recoarctation was
7.5 mm in diameter. The descending aorta was 22 mm in diameter. A 36-mm open cell bare metal stent (eV3 Intrastent LD. max) was implanted in the coarctation with a 16-mm high-pressure balloon and dilated with up to 6-8 atms in pressure. The stent ends were flared with a 20-mm low-pressure balloon to approximate the stent to the aortic wall. The right subclavian artery originated anomalously at the stenosis and was dilated to 7-mm through an open stent cell. The nearly occluded left subclavian, which originated above the stenosis, was also dilated through an open stent cell with a 7-mm balloon. After stent placement there was a residual 7-mmHg gradient and mild stenosis as observed in the post-catheter CT angiogram reconstruction. Although ad­vised to consider redilation of the stent, this was not performed, and 5 years post intervention he remains normotensive and on no medication.
Fig. 26.13 illustrates a saccular aortic psuedoaneurysm in a 44-year-old woman after coarctation
repair at age 4 years, which is treated with three covered CP stents dilated on a 20-mm balloon. At CT angiogram reconstruction demonstrated that a moderate aortic psuedoaneurysm was present at the inferior surface of the aorta just distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. In addition, there is moderate aortic stenosis of the aorta at the same site. We previously had asked a vascular surgeon to reimplant the left subclavian artery into the left carotid artery in order to allow appropriate place­ment of a covered stent to eliminate the pseudoaneurysm. We noted that the aortic arch measures approximately 20 mm in diameter and the descending aorta approximately 25 mm in diameter. We initially placed a 34-mm covered CP stent on a 20-mm Zmed. BIB balloon at the aneurysm site. This appear to effectively cover the aneurysm, but the subsequent rotational study showed a residual proximal portion of the aneurysm remained. Fig. 26.13C also illustrates the ability to superimpose or overlay a previously obtained 3D rotation reconstruction on the fluoroscopic image of the patient to allow easier and more accurate placement of the covered stents. Therefore a second 34-mm covered CP stent was placed more proximally and a third 28-mm CP covered stent in the mid seg­ment to completely eliminate the pseudoaneurysm. The follow-up 3D CT angiogram demon­strated complete elimination of any residual narrowing and aortic pseudoaneurysm. The patient remains well and symptom free.
These examples of coarctation stent intervention are consistent with the multicenter trial studies cited. Simple, moderate, native coarctation can often be easily managed with bare metal stent im­plantation. Because of its flexibility, we often prefer an open cell stent design, which may also allow dilation of jailed vessels. Initial efforts are often directed to partial elimination of the coarctation obstruction with minimal residual gradient, often with plans for subsequent dilation on a later return visit. Usually the initial dilation pressure may be limited to 6 atms or less for the dilation. For more complex, severe obstruction with associated aortic aneurysm or in patients older than 30–40 years, a covered stent may be the safer choice. In addition, if one anticipates an attempt to fully dilate a co­arcted segment at the initial procedure with higher atmospheric pressures, the covered stent may be the most reasonable choice to use. Arch obstructions can be considered in patients if the subclavian vessels can be salvaged through an open cell stent or by surgical reimplantation if a covered stent is necessary. Long-term follow-up of coarctation stent in necessary to determine potential com­plications such as aneurysm formation, in-stent stenosis, stent fracture, or embolization.
Complications
Complications include stent migration (,4%), damage to the aortic wall (dissection, hematoma, aortic rupture), access site injury, and stroke. Aortic perforation is very rare but may be fatal. Cov­ered stents should be kept available in case of aortic rupture. Restenosis is rare if post-procedural

Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), as a communication between the aorta and the main pulmonary artery, represents a normal and necessary part of the fetal circulation. Therefore the presence of a PDA in the early neonatal period can be considered a nearly universal phenomenon. While duc­tal constriction usually leads to functional and anatomic closure, partial or limited closure may occur in some cases. The previous discussion on coarctation of the aorta noted that the constric­tive tissue present in the ductus arteriosus may in fact result in constriction or coarctation of the aorta or the left pulmonary artery. Isolated patent ductus arteriosus reportedly represents 5% to 10% of congenital cardiac defects. tal period is much more common among preterm neonates than among term infants. tiny asymptomatic PDA may also be more prevalent in older children and adults and remain unrecognized clinically except for occasional recognition by echocardiography requested for other reasons.
