[Dilation of atypical native coarctation of aorta with stent implantation].
We describe a case of a 21-year-old women with atypical (kinking) native coarctation of aorta. She had arterial hypertension treated pharmacologically. To visualise stenotic segment, standard angiographic planes were not usefull, only right oblique projection showed precisely stenotic segment. Thereafter stent was successfully applied and trans aortic gradient decreased from 30 to 0 mmHg.
