A member asked:

Is it possible to get re-coarctation after having a stent placed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I suppose yes. : If a stent was placed at a youg age, it may not be adequate for the adult sized aorta and would present with recurring symptoms and radiographic appearance of narrowing.
