Bioptome-assisted stent repositioning in the case of stent migration during balloon-expandable stenting for coarctation of the aorta
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2021
Abstract
Coarctation of aorta is commonly treated with endovascular interventions such as coarctation stenting. Migration of stent is the most dreaded complication of coarctation stenting. A 60-year-old lady with severe malaligned coarctation underwent endovascular stent placement. The expanded stent migrated to proximal aorta, which could be stabilized with a bioptome, re-positioned with a balloon and postdilated to its optimal size, resulting in a good outcome.
