In-stent restenosis and aneurysm development after bare stent implantation: rescue by e-PTFE-covered cheatham- platinum stent.
We report on three cases of primary endovascular bare stenting for native aortic coarctation complicated by aortic aneurysm or in-stent stenosis because of neointimal proliferation that were successfully treated by covered stent. These cases show how the deployment of a covered stent may be a safe and definitive therapeutical option in the management of these complications.
