title: Stent migration during transcatheter management of coarctation of aorta.
abstract: A 13-year-old girl underwent endovascular stent placement for coarctation of aorta. The fully expanded stent migrated to ascending aorta which could be stabilized, recrimped, and repositioned with a 20-mm goose neck snare. Postdilatation was performed from the left brachial route resulting in a good outcome.
