Interventional recanalisation of long segment aortic atresia

Abstract

We report the case of a long-segment aortic atresia as the cause for therapy resistant arterial hypertension in a young adult. Recanalization was achieved interventionally by wire-crossing and stent implantation with subsequent normalization of blood pressure.

Keywords: aortic atresia; arterial hypertension; interventional treatment; recanalisation; therapy-resistant.
