Abstrakt: Percutaneous balloon angioplasty is an alternative therapy for the treatment of the typical type of coarctation. Its associated morbidity and mortality compares favorably when compared to the standard treatment surgery. While atypical coarctations are rare, the described cases have been treated surgically. We present a case of unusually located aortic coarctation successfully treated with percutaneous balloon angioplasty.
