ABSTRACT
Transcatheter stent implantation is a widely performed procedure for treating native coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in pediatric patients. However, data on mid- to long-term outcomes are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term safety and efficacy of transcatheter CoA stenting based on centrally adjudicated outcomes. This retrospective cohort study included patients aged 15 years or younger undergoing de novo stenting for CoA or recoarctation (reCoA) between 2006 and 2017. Immediate and 5-year outcomes were assessed. Immediate outcomes (procedural and in-hospital) were retrieved from electronic records. Rates of 5-year reCoA, stent fractures, aneurysmal/pseudoaneurysmal formation, and all-cause mortality were mid-term outcomes. The study included 274 patients (64% male and 36% female) with a median (interquartile range) age of 9 (6-12) years. Procedural success was achieved in 251 patients (91.6%). Procedural complications occurred in 4 patients (1.4%), consisting of stent migration in 1 (0.3%) and small non-expanding non-flow-limiting aortic wall injuries in 3 (1.1%). Major vascular access complications were observed in 18 patients (6.6%), acute limb ischemia in 8 (2.9%). In-hospital mortality occurred in 4 patients (1.4%). Five-year cumulative incidence rates of stent fractures, reCoA, and aortic aneurysmal/pseudoaneurysmal formation were 17/100 (17%), 73/154 (48%), and 8/101 (7.92%), respectively. Of 73 reCoAs, 47 were treated with balloon angioplasty, and 15 underwent a second stent implantation. Five-year all-cause mortality occurred in 4/251 (1.6%) patients. Coarctoplasty with stents was safe and effective in our pediatric population during a 5-year follow-up despite a high rate of reCoA.
