We present the case of a 49-year-old male patient with aortic interruption successfully treated by intravascular ultrasound guided transcatheter electrosurgical wire crossing and revascularization using a covered stent.<h4>Learning objective</h4>Transcatheter electrosurgical wire techniques utilizing intravascular ultrasound facilitate safe and effective percutaneous revascularization of complex aortic coarctation patients.Journal of cardiology cases56-58https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9214865biostudies-literatureIntravascular ultrasound guided transcatheter electrosurgical revascularization of an interrupted aortic arch.PMC9214865Verma RCohen MVijaykumar SVisveswaran GKMichael MfalseIntravascular ultrasound guided transcatheter electrosurgical revascularization of an interrupted aortic arch.Interrupted aortic arch is a rare (prevalence 1:100000) but malignant cause of secondary hypertension, with late sequela of early myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure.
