Abstract
The transcatheter approach is nowadays considered a cost-effective alternative to surgery in adults with "complex" aortic coarctation. The printed 3D model was crucial in planning transcatheter treatment of a complex case of postsurgical aortic re-coarctation, due to coexistence of transverse aortic arch stenosis and pseudoaneurysm as well as aneurysm of the descending aorta. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
