Treatment
Therapy is conservative if the patient is asymptomatic. If symptoms or hypertension are present, treatment for coarctation may be surgical or catheter based. The treatment choice depends on the patients age, the location of the coarctation and other associated anomalies. Recoartctaion after previous surgery is treated percutaneously with either balloon dilation and/or stenting.
