Treatment of 12-year-old girl with midaortic syndrome by using Cook Formula stent

Abstract

Middle aortic syndrome is a severe form of aortic coarctation and mostly involves the thoracic and abdominal part of the aorta. Traditional surgical approach has some potential risks and repetitive operations. Percutaneous stent implantation is a feasible and safe method for the palliation of middle aortic syndrome in childhood. Herein, a child with middle aortic syndrome was presented who has been treated by transcatheter stent implantation.
