title: Repair of near-atretic coarctation of the aorta in children with a new low-profile covered stent.
abstract: This article, which shows a technically very challenging angioplasty of a near-atretic coarctation of the aorta, underlines the importance of an anticipated procedure planning and of the right selection of available technology. Additionally, the performance and clinical setting of utilization of a new small premounted stent--the Advanta Atrium stent--is highlighted.
