Balloon-expandable stent and self-expandable stent combined to treat coarctation of the aorta with descending aortic aneurysm: a case report
This novel technique of implanting a BES within an SES effectively addresses both the aortic coarctation and the descending aortic aneurysm. By tripling the diameter of the coarctation, the approach maximizes aortic expansion while protecting the aorta. Moreover, the combination of these stents enhances overall stability, reducing the risk of stent migration or displacement.
