Successful balloon angioplasty of native aortic coarctation in a young adult with refractory hypertension.

Abstract
Controversy exists with regard to the role of balloon angioplasty in the treatment of native aortic coarctation. Recent data and studies have showed that percutaneous balloon angioplasty is a safe and effective treatment for aortic coarctation. We report a young adult with aortic coarctation who has been treated with successful balloon angioplasty.
