Follow-up of hypertension after aortic coarctation stent implantation based on safe and effective re-intervention: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stent implantation for aortic coarctation (CoA) is associated with anatomical and hemodynamic advantages. Although the anatomy is corrected after the intervention, patients often still suffer from hypertension during the follow-up. Its risk factors remain unclear. There are only a few studies on the long-term follow-up of hypertension after stenting. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing systemic hypertension after CoA by transcatheter stent placement.

Methods

A total of 82 patients (native CoA: 37; men: 53) who underwent stent implantation for CoA at a median age of 123 months (range, 40 days-44 years) between January 2004 and September 2012 were included in this study. Patients with native or recurrent CoA after surgery, simple CoA or complex C
