Stent study reveals hidden heart strain after aortic repair
NCT ID NCT05362721
First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looks at how placing a stent to widen a narrowed part of the aorta (coarctation) changes the heart's workload. Researchers will use special catheters to measure pressure and volume inside the heart before and after the procedure. The goal is to understand if stenting fully reduces the strain on the heart. About 21 children and adults with this condition will take part.
