Abstract

We present a case of circumferential fracture of aortic coarctation stent with severe re-stentosis presenting 16 years after initial stent implantation with end-stage renal disease. The patient was treated with a covered stent using the stent-in-stent technique. The use of an ultra-high-pressure balloon was proved necessary to overcome the tight, non-compliant stenosis.
