title: [Roentgeno-endovascular dilation of aortic coarctation].
abstract: The potentialities of roentgeno-endovascular dilation (RED) of various types of coarctation and aortic stenoses were studied in 12 patients aged 9 to 27. RED was performed by two Grüntzig's catheters with balloons not less than 7 mm in diameter. The main criterion of RED efficacy was a gradient of systolic pressure which was on the decrease by 25-40 mm Hg after using one catheter, and by 40-70 mm Hg after using both catheters. The same method was applied to dilation of stenosis of the abdominal aorta. The proposed method is low invasive and most effective in patients with aortic segmentation of segmental type, and makes it possible to avoid in many cases surgical intervention.
