Abstract

A 2.6-year-old girl weighing 10kg was diagnosed as Severe Coarctation of Aorta in October 2008. Subsequently, she underwent Balloon angioplasty in April 2009 & later stenting of coarct area was performed with a covered stent in April 2014. In January 2024 she came for follow up after a long gap and re-coarctation was noticed in echocardiography. Balloon dilatation of the covered stent was performed with a 16 × 40 mm Z-med balloon successfully at 17 years of age. Successful journey of this patient since her first admission to pediatric ICU till today led us to write this report.
