How aortic shape affects stent results for coarctation
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how the shape of the aorta affects healing and remodeling after a stent is placed to treat a narrow spot (coarctation). It may help doctors better predict outcomes and choose the best treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 12 years or older
- You have a narrowing in your main artery (aorta) that is either present from birth or that came back after a prior treatment
- The pressure difference across the narrow spot measured with a catheter is at least 20 mmHg
- You weigh 20 kg or more
- You have had a CT scan of your aorta before and after stent placement

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a type of blood pressure medicine (an angiotensin-II receptor blocker) to see if it can help prevent changes in the heart's structure. It is for people who have had surgery for a coarctation of the aorta and now have mild to moderate high blood pressure.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to check how stiff the main artery (aorta) is in people with a narrowing called coarctation. It aims to understand how the stiffness affects the heart and blood vessels, which could help guide future care.
This study collects information from people diagnosed with aortic coarctation before or shortly after birth, to better understand the condition and improve care. It may be a fit if you or your child were diagnosed before or within one month of birth.
This trial looks at how the ascending aorta (the main artery near the heart) changes over time after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. It may help doctors predict who is at risk of aorta enlargement after this less-invasive valve procedure.
This study follows people with aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI valve replacement. It uses imaging tests (MRI and CT) to learn more about the condition and improve future care.
This study looks at how the heart changes after a minimally invasive procedure to fix an aortic aneurysm. It uses imaging to track heart function and structure over time.
