Balloon angioplasty of coarctation of the aorta is an effective method of treatment but is complicated by tearing of the aortic intima, formation of aneurysms, and restenosis. Stent placement at the time of balloon dilation could prevent restenosis and could also prevent progression of intimal tears to aneurysms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of balloon dilation and implantation of balloon-expandable stents in an experimental model of coarctation and to examine the effect of stent placement at the site of surgically created stenosis.
