A 16‐year‐old male presenting with upper extremity hypertension was found to have a severe form of discrete coarctation with complete luminal obliteration, causing a functional interruption of the thoracic aorta. Fluoroscopically guided perforation of the obstruction and creation of a neo‐aortic lumen was performed. This was followed by balloon angioplasty and stent placement, successfully relieving the coarctation. The procedural method, acute and late follow‐up results, and a discussion of the potential risks and benefits are presented. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
