Procedural Characteristics and Outcomes of Transcatheter Interventions for Aortic Coarctation: A Report From the IMPACT Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although surgical repair was the traditional first-line treatment for native coarctation of the aorta (CoA), balloon angioplasty (BA) and stenting are now increasingly being performed. We aimed to determine the practice patterns and acute outcomes of transcatheter interventions for native coarctation in the largest multicenter registry for congenital catheterization.

Methods

CoA interventions from the IMPACT (IMproving Pediatric and Adult Congenital Treatment) National Cardiovascular Data Registry were analyzed. The procedure choice and acute outcomes were compared among patients with no prior interventions on the aortic isthmus (native CoA). Procedural success was defined as no major adverse events (MAEs) and a final peak gradient of <20 mm Hg and optimal outcome
