Ascending-to-descending aortic grafting: an alternative approach for adults with complex aortic coarctation
Intrapericardial ascending-to-descending aortic grafting is a safe and effective approach for adults with complex coarctation of aorta or re-coarctation not suitable for a percutaneous or conventional surgical approach. Improved blood pressure control and reduced anti-hypertensive use were observed long-term.
