Abstract

Aortic arch stent placement in young children is a medical dilemma. This is attributed to the critical lack of commercially available stents that can be delivered through small sheaths and yet have the potential to be dilated to the adult-size aorta. Here in, we describe an innovative first-in-human technique that allows for overcoming the aforementioned challenges. A Palmaz Genesis XD stent was placed to treat coarctation of the aorta in two young children through small-bore sheaths.
