Abstract

A 31-year-old male presented with unexplainable symptoms of heart failure including recurrent fatigue and orthopnoea after total arch replacement for type A aortic dissection 2 months ago. Computed tomography angiography detected a severe intra-luminal stenosis, and we successfully implanted a balloon-expandable stent to dilate the stenosis. The patient with improved haemodynamics after endovascular reintervention remains stable at 2 years. The case provides a feasible endovascular therapy for heart failure caused by post-surgery aortic coarctation.

期刊介绍： ESC Heart Failure is the open access journal of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology dedicated to the advancement of knowledge in the field of heart failure. The journal aims to improve the understanding, prevention, investigation and treatment of heart failure. Molecular and cellular biology, pathology, physiology, electrophysiology, pharmacology, as well as the clinical, social and population sciences all form part of the discipline that is heart failure. Accordingly, submission of manuscripts on basic, translational, clinical and population sciences is invited. Original contributions on nursing, care of the elderly, primary care, health economics and other specialist fields related to heart failure are also welcome, as are case reports that highlight interesting aspects of heart failure care and treatment.
