A 30 year old lady with poorly controlled hypertension was diagnosed to have native coarctation (A). A Palmaz P 308 stent was placed as a primary intervention. Post stent, there was no residual angiographic narrowing (B) or significant gradient. On follow-up her lower extremity blood pressure was higher than her arm pressure as is generally seen in normal individuals. She has been taken off anti hypertension treatment and remains normotensive.
