Severe Infantile Coarctation and Mid Aortic Stenosis in Williams Syndrome
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
We report a challenging patient with Williams syndrome and severe coarctation of the aorta. As in a few similar cases reported, several surgical and catheter interventions for recoarctation, intrastent intimal proliferation and stenosis of the left sub-clavian artery were required. Aortic patch angioplasty is planned for the future in a grower child.
