ABSTRACT
Coarctation of aorta is a rare vascular disorder which is one of causes of secondary hypertension. Since the early 1990s stenting in the coarctation of aorta has been introduced as an alternative treatment method, there were a few cases which were treated by stent implantation for the coarctation of the aorta in Korea. But the case which was treated using stent in congestive heart failure with pulmonary edema has never been reported. We report on successful management of a 64-year-old female patient, who presented with acute heart failure and pulmonary edema due to severe aortic coarctation. After endotracheal intubation, aortogram was performed, which revealed a severe narrowing in the distal thoracic aorta with a peak systolic pressure gradient of 100 mmHg across the lesion. Stent implantation was performed with 24x100 mm self-expandable Nitinol-S stent after predilation with 10x40 mm balloon. After stenting, patient's symptom and sign of congestive heart failure were remarkably improved and endotracheal intubation tube was able to be removed. And no significant adverse cardiac events observed during a nine-month clinical follow-up.
