Cardiol Young. 2017 Aug;27(6):1225-1228. doi: 10.1017/S1047951117000142. Epub 2017 Mar 6.

Abstract

We report a case of successful, life-saving implantation of a covered Cheatham Platinum stent, an all-in-one NuDEL catheter system, in an adult with aortic rupture after bare-metal stenting for re-coarctation of the aorta.

Keywords: NuDEL covered stent; Re-coarctation of the aorta; aortic rupture; balloon-expandable stent.
