title: Transcatheter repair of native coarctation in children with Turner syndrome: three case reports and literature review.
abstract: Transcatheter management of native coarctation of the aorta in 3 children with Turner syndrome is reported. Two children, 12 and 17 years of age, underwent stent implantation and 1 child, 3 years old, underwent balloon angioplasty alone. In all children the procedures were successful, both hemodynamically and angiographically. Three- to 4-year follow-up after the procedures has revealed no signs of complications, including restenosis or aneurysm formation.
