Abstract

We report the case of a 25 kg male with aortic isthmus atresia and small femoral arterial access. A BeGraft covered stent was percutaneously implanted after perforating the atretic segment. This case demonstrates the feasibility and safety of transcatheter treatment using the Bentley stent, which enables smaller femoral access compared to other balloon-expandable stent platforms.
