Endovascular treatment of aortic coarctation using covered balloon-expandable stents-a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Balloon dilation followed by balloon-expandable stent implantation is an effective treatment for improving hemodynamic status in patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA). However, limited evidence exists regarding the safety and efficacy of covered balloon-expandable stents (CBSs) in a large cohort. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the overall success rates, hemodynamic and anatomical benefits, complications, and mid-term results of CBSs in treating CoA.

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systemically searched for studies reporting outcomes of CBSs in treating CoA. Single-group rate meta-analyses were performed to calculate estimated pooled procedural success rates, the incidence of complications, and re-coarctation rate
