Sumario:Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a common form of congenital heart disease. Adult patients with CoA may be asymptomatic or may present with hypertension. Over the last few years, endovascular management of adult patients with CoA emerged as the preferred strategy.

In this paper, we will review technical considerations and outcome of patients undergoing stent implantation for CoA.
