Abstract

Aortic coarctation is a recognized arteriopathy in patients with Williams’ syndrome. We present an adolescent with Williams’ syndrome who developed rapid restenosis after primary stenting of coarctation of the aorta. We believe such restenosis within the stent is due to a proliferative response of the abnormal aortic wall. Attention should be paid to the potential for restenosis during follow-up after stenting of aortic coarctation in patients with Williams’ syndrome.
