aortic wall injury is higher than with stent angioplasty or surgery. This is likely related to the

Inaprospective,multi-institutional,observationalstudy,balloonangioplastywasfoundto
be inferior to stent angioplasty for the treatment of native aortic coarctation. In this study, gradient
reduction with balloon angioplasty alone was less than that seen with stent angioplasty or surgery.
Furthermore,therateofaorticwallinjuryandaneurysmformationwassignificantlyhigherwithballoon
angioplasty compared with stent angioplasty. Compared with its use in native coarctation, balloon

2.Preferences:
Inourpractice,wefavorstentangioplastyforbothnativeandrecurrentaorticcoarctationinadolescent
andadultpatients.Avarietyofstents are available withachievable diameters sufficientforuseinthe
treatment ofaortic coarctation. However,only the CheathamPlatinum(CP) Stent and the Covered CP
Stent (NuMED, Hopkinton, NY) carry a specific indication for use in native and recurrent aortic
coarctation.Inour practice, we use a varietyofballoon-expandable stents.Theuseofself-expanding
nitinol stents and stentgrafts forthe treatmentofnative andrecurrentcoarctation has been described;
however,availabledataregardingtheiruseandoutcomesarelimitedtosmallcase series.33Thus,this
chapterwillfocusonballoon-expandablestents.
3.StentSelection:
Stent selection depends uponseveral factors: the diameter required to avoid residual obstruction; the
necessaryradialstrengthtomaintainstentandlumenintegrity;theanatomyofthelandingzone(straightor
curvilinear);theneedtocrossorjailbrachiocephalicvessels;andtheneedforacoveredstent.Itshould
be notedthat onlythe CP stentandCovered CP stentareavailable premounted on a delivery balloon
catheter.Currently,allotherstentsmustbehand-crimpedontoanappropriatelysizedballoon.
a. ThePalmazXL10seriesofstents(J&J)areclosed-cellstentslaser-cutfromaveryrigidstainless-
steel tubeandare capable of expandingto28 mmin diameter.They are available in30, 40, and
50 mm, lengths, but at aortic diameters (16-28 mm), there is marked foreshortening. Thus, it is
important tohavea foreshortening chart available so thatanappropriate stent lengthis selected.
These stents have high radial strength butare inflexible andunmalleable, thus they are ideal for
discrete coarctations in straight segments of the aorta. They will not conform to curvilinear
anatomies and may cause severe distortion or vessel injury when used in such an environment.
Finally,theclosed-celldesignlimitstheabilitytoopencellsbeyondafewmillimetersinsituations
whereabrachiocephalicvesselisintentionallyorunintentionallyjailed.ThePalmazGenesisfamily

the XL stents), and have a closed-cell design. This stent introduced an “S”-shaped “sigma hinge,”
allowingthestenttoflexaroundcurves,andreducedthedegreeofshorteninguponfullstentexpansion.
Thus,inpatients with a relatively smallaorta,the Genesis XDis agoodchoiceforuseincurvilinear

a. Theev3IntraStentLDMaxwasapprovedforusein2002.Thesestentshaveuniquecharacteristics
includinganopen-celldesignthatreducesstentforeshorteningandallowsforexpansionofcellsup
to 12 mm. With staged or sequential expansion,these stents can be expanded to 24-26 mm with
minimal foreshortening.However,when expanded tofulldiameter with a singleballooninflation,
theywillforeshorten.Thus,theyshouldonlybedeployedusingaballoon-in-balloon(BIB)catheter

c. TheCovered Cheatham Platinumstent(CCPS) is a bare-metal CP stent covered along almost its

Thefabricsurroundingthestentisthoughttoprovideseveraladvantagesoverbare-metalstents:(1)

mustbecarefullypositionedtoavoidunintendedobstructionofbrachiocephalicvessels.TheePTFE
doesnotextendallthewaytotheedgeofthestent;thismustbeconsideredwhenattemptingtocover
a specific anatomic location. The COAST II trial demonstrated the ability of the CCPS to treat
and/orpreventaorticwallinjuriesrelatedtocoarctation.23Long-termfollow-upisongoing.These
stents (or a large diameter, covered, self-expanding stent or endograft) can provide life-saving
coverageofpotentiallycatastrophicaorticwall injuriesandthusshouldbeimmediatelyavailable
when performing balloon or bare-metal stent angioplasty. In patients with resistant lesions, ie,

Inolderpatients,especiallythosewithvisiblecalciumwithintheaorticwall,weimplantaCCPS

4.Equipment:
Much of the equipment needed for balloon angioplasty should also be available for stent angioplasty
procedures, including, soft-tipped end-hole catheters, stiff guidewires, Multi-Track angiographic
catheters,calibratedpigtailcatheters,large-diameterlongsheaths,andlarge-diametercoveredstents.

5.SpecificBalloons:
WealmostexclusivelyusetheBIBcatheter(NuMED,Hopkinton,NY)forstentimplantationinadolescent
andadultpatients.
a. This BIB catheter is specifically designed for stent placement and consists of two “nested”,
independently inflatable balloons on a single catheter shaft. It is available with outer balloon
diametersof8-30mm.Theinnerballoonis½thediameterand10mmshorterthantheouterballoon.
b. When manually mounting a stent, the stent is centered and crimped on the outer balloon. The
premountedCPstentandCCPScomemountedontheseballoons.Onceatthetargetlesion,theinner
balloonisinflated,expandingthe centerportionofthestentpriortothe proximal anddistalends.
This prevents “dog-boning,” where the shoulders of the balloon and hence the ends of the stent
expandfirst,andreducestheriskofthestent“milking”duringexpansion.Furthermore,withthestent
fixedat½itsintendeddiameter,angiographyandrepositioncanbeperformedpriortoinflationof
the outer balloon.Theabilitytoperform staged expansionallows the ev3 Mega LD stents tobe
implantedwithminimalforeshortening.
c. Postimplant dilation is occasionally required after placement of a covered stent in a resistant
stenosis. Our inventory includes Z-Med II balloons (NuMED Inc., Hopkinton, NY) and VIDA
balloons (BARD, Tempe AZ) forthis purpose.TheVIDA balloonsarelow profile andare often

b. Cross-matchedbloodshouldbeimmediatelyavailable.
c. As described earlier for balloon angioplasty, careful measurement of the gradient across the

d. Use of a calibrated angiographic catheter is essential. Detailed measurements of the coarctation,

g. Someoperatorschoosetotestthecomplianceofthecoarctationlesionpriortointervention:

4.Hand-crimping:
Thestentwillneedtobehand-crimpedontotheballoon.

advancementthroughthedeliverysheath:
i. Afterhand-crimpingthestent,alengthofumbilicaltapecanbeloopedaroundthestent/balloon

ii. The balloon can be inflated to 0.5 atm prior to or immediately after introduction into the

b. Hand-crimpedstents shouldalwaysbe delivered totheir target vessel through a long sheath.The

7.Compliance:
When treating highly compliant lesions or lesions with only a mild amount of stenosis, rapid right
ventricularpacingcanbe usedtodecreasecardiacoutputandaorticpulsepressure,therebyimproving
balloonstabilityduringimplant.Thisisgenerallynotnecessaryintightstenoses.
a. Paceat180-200bpmwiththegoalofdecreasingthepulsepressureby10mmHganddecreasingthe
systolicBPto<100mmHg.
b. Pacing should be terminated after the delivery balloon is deflated to avoid a sudden change in

8.WhenusingaNuMEDBIBballoonforstentdelivery,anangiogramcanbeperformedeitherthrough

a. Assessforstentposition,size,andanyvascularcomplications
b. Repeatapullbacktoobtainapoststentgradient
10. Have inventory of large-diameter stents covered with polytetrafluoroethylene (PFTE) for use in

F.ComplicationsFromStentAngioplasty
1. Similar to balloon angioplasty, complications of transcatheter stenting ofaortic coarctation canbe

a. Technicalcomplicationsincludeissueswiththeequipmentorproceduraltechniqueandincludestent
